✨ About the Story
High in the twinkling night sky lives a little star named Luma. While she shines brightly each night, Luma feels something is missing—someone to share her light with. As she watches other stars laugh and play among the clouds, Luma quietly wishes for a friend of her own.
One magical night, with courage in her heart, Luma decides to leave the sky and drift down to Earth in search of companionship. She lands softly in a peaceful meadow where the crickets sing and fireflies glow. Though she tries to befriend the creatures around her, Luma still feels alone—until she meets Finn, a kind and curious boy who has always dreamed of meeting a real star.
Together, Finn and Luma share stories, make shadow puppets beneath the trees, and sing lullabies to the moon. As dawn approaches, Luma realizes she must return to the sky, but not before promising Finn that true friendship can shine across any distance.
Through simple, gentle storytelling and enchanting illustrations, The Star Who Wanted a Friend reassures children that even when someone is far away, the bonds of friendship and love can still light up their world.
