The Overlooked Wishing Star is a gentle picture book for children who sometimes feel unseen or left out.
Violet is a small, quiet star who watches as wishers choose the biggest, brightest stars in the sky. No one ever wishes on her. With each passing night, she begins to wonder if her soft glow matters at all.
As Violet observes more closely, she discovers that her gentle light has a purpose of its own—one that offers calm, comfort, and encouragement in a different way.
Told with lyrical language and dreamy illustrations, this story reminds children that they don’t have to be loud, fast, or chosen first to matter.
You belong.
Your light matters.
And it helps more than you know.
