The Star That Forgot How To Shine

The Star That Forgot How to Shine is a magical and heartwarming children’s story about Nori, a little golden star who suddenly loses her ability to shine.

Nori believes that being bright, admired, and noticed is what makes her special. But when her light disappears, she journeys away from the Night Garden and discovers the mysterious Shadow Orchard, where darkness reveals hidden paths, sleeping dreams, silent bells, and magical wonders that ordinary starlight cannot show.

With the help of her friend Pip and the wise Constellation Keeper, Nori learns that being noticed is not the same as being valuable. Sometimes, the most important things are the ones that cannot be seen at first.

A gentle story about self-worth, comparison, kindness, confidence, and discovering hidden strengths, this book encourages children to understand that they do not have to be the brightest, loudest, or most admired to be important.

A story for every little star who has ever wondered if they are shining brightly enough.
