The Little Star Mary Beth O'Connell

In this simple, enchanting tale of self-discovery the Little Star embarks on a path to truth, after she asks the great questions "Why am I here and what is my purpose?" The Little Star feels small and inadequate when she looks around the giant universe. But she eventually finds all her answers in the least likely place, herself.

The author, who has always been a strong advocate for people with unique challenges, hopes the story will help children to realize the wonder inside themselves and others.
