Richly illustrated, the artwork captures the
mystery of the darkening skies and emerging twinkle of the stars overhead.
Just before sunset, a little girl and a small white dog wander to the beach where they discover stranded starfish of all shapes and sizes. The little girl tries to throw the starfish back into the ocean, but with each wave they are washed back onto shore.
Sadness and frustration wash over her just like the waves.

|
In the quiet, magic moment between night and day, the little girl discovers the
secret story of the starfish . . .
Born from stars, the starfish played upon the ocean. When they became tired and lonely for the sky and no longer needed their heavy bodies, their
light returned to the heavens to shine on the creatures of the earth.

Ease the pain of loss
The Light of Stars touches our hearts and provides solace and a
reassurance that there are plans and worlds greater than our own. Everyone who has known the
pain of loss can understand this universal parable.
We know firsthand the little girl’s frantic struggle to hold off the
reality of death, the anger and frustration, the hurt and
tears.
When you lose someone you care about, your heart is left wide open; you feel empty and lonely. You may feel anger, hurt, frustration, sadness, or numbness. Both children and adults struggle with adjusting to a death.
We miss the one who’s gone. We want to stay connected; we don’t want to let go.
The Light of Stars is a gentle fable that reminds us about that connection.
We understand the peace that comes with acceptance of the ebb and flow of life, as
constant as the tides.
We’re reminded that our loved ones always watch over us and always remain with us in spirit.
The only thing brighter than stars is the human spirit.
While not religious in nature, The Light of Stars is deeply spiritual, rising from my own beliefs that have comforted me throughout my life. I hold a masters degree in social work and, as a therapist, have worked with hundreds of children and families.

My own father died when I was two years old. I’ve always believed that he is with me; his spirit
guides me and influences my life. My father still shines for me every day.
The Light of Stars was inspired by that belief and the magic of long walks by the ocean with a small white dog who lives with me on the coast of South Carolina. |
