About this ebook
A gentle, mindful picture book about learning to appreciate the wonders in your world and within yourself, from New York Times bestselling author and MUTTS comic creator Patrick McDonnell and award-winning artist Naoko Stoop.
Hoshi the sea star looks up in the sky and sees the stars shining. She wishes that she too could be in the sky amongst the brilliant stars--and as she imagines how much better it would be up in the air, she fails to appreciate the beautiful world that surrounds her underwater. It takes Hoshi's friends, old and new, to help her realize that her shine comes from within. With gorgeous illustrations depicting colorful underwater life, Shine! teaches about the wonders that can be found inside ourselves.
Naoko Stoop is the creator of Red Knit Cap Girl, a New York Times Best Illustrated book. Her gorgeous use of plywood as the canvas for her work offers the perfect texture and pattern to evoke waves and sea currents in the underwater scenes.
