The Overlooked Wishing Star is a children's picture book about self-esteem, confidence, belonging, and discovering the unique light each of us has to share.
Every night, children look to the sky and wish upon the brightest stars. But high above the world, one little star named Violet wonders why no one ever chooses her.
As she watches wish after wish drift toward the biggest stars, Violet begins to believe that being noticed is the same as being important. Maybe, she thinks, she simply doesn't shine brightly enough.
Then an unexpected encounter changes the way she sees herself--and the night sky forever.
The Overlooked Wishing Star is a heartwarming picture book for children ages 3–7 that explores self-esteem, confidence, kindness, and the courage to embrace what makes us different. Through Violet's journey, young readers discover that comparing themselves to others can hide the gifts they already possess, and that every child has something meaningful only they can share.
Whether your child is naturally shy, struggling with confidence, feeling left out, or simply learning to believe in themselves, Violet's story offers reassurance that their value isn't measured by how much attention they receive, but by the difference they make.
Perfect for:
* Children building confidence and self-esteem
* Families starting conversations about belonging and self-worth
* Bedtime reading and classroom read-alouds
* Parents, grandparents, teachers, counselors, and librarians looking for meaningful stories that encourage empathy and resilience
Beautifully illustrated and filled with warmth, *The Overlooked Wishing Star* reminds readers that the stars that change our lives aren't always the brightest ones in the sky.
Sometimes, the most extraordinary light is the one that's been there all along.
