Shiny Star Leonora by Gloria Loring

Shiny Star Leonora is the beautifully illustrated story of a star that wanted to visit the beautiful garden on the earth below. The story suits children of a late junior age , around 8 and above as, though simply worded, it deals with the ideas of trying to fit in, rejection and finally becoming at ease with being yourself. In addition to the story, Gloria painted all the gorgeous illustrations which feature as the story is read. Read and filmed by Chris Thomas with the author's permission.
