This is a stunning, heartfelt collection of short stories, told from a parent to a child, encompassing the life lessons they want them to take out into the world. In “Stones,” a little bear builds a tower, only to see it come crashing down, but that’s OK—it’s the chance to start again and dream a new dream. In “Sparks,” they realize that they don’t have to be good at everything all at once—they just have to begin. In “Stars,” they discover that hope is always there, if they’re brave enough to look for it. Beautifully and thoughtfully illustrated, this is a book of wisdom for someone to carry close to their heart wherever life’s journey might take them.
