The Big Picture

Why This Story Matters

A star in a corner of the sky decides to come down and fill the Earth with light. On her journey she gathers her strength the way children do — from memories, each one a spark that shows her the next piece of the way.

The idea underneath it is a simple one worth giving a child early: everyone has an inner light, and it is bright enough to push back the dark. My Star says that even in the hardest moments that light can bring happiness back — to us, and to the people we love.

    Each special memory is a spark that shows the way ahead.

  • Courage

    A brave star making a journey all the way from the sky.
