Introduce young ones to the strength of love and kindness in this touching story about finding hope in the toughest places, authored by Olympic-medal-winner Fatima Whitbread. Join Little Fatima on a journey to find her forever home, even though it is not as easy as she had hoped. But through this journey, a bright shining star is always there to guide Fatima. Lots of people look after Fatima and her friends at the children's home, but Aunty Rae always makes Fatima feel special and loved. Kindness and love can make you feel safe and strong, no matter your circumstances. All you need is one bright shining star to make you feel better, and this is the central message of this beautiful, powerful picture book. Written by world javelin champion, world record holder and twice Olympic medallist Fatima Whitbread, and informed by her own childhood growing up in children's homes, this heartwarming story will fill readers with hope and love. Paired with richly glowing, whimsical illustrations from Rhian Wright, this is a truly poignant story to be shared over and over again.
