Naoko Stoop.
A red starfish named Hoshi longs to shine in the sky rather than be stuck in the ocean. While Hoshi is surrounded by unique, colorful, and magnificent creatures in her watery environment, it takes a glowing anglerfish to teach Hoshi that to truly shine requires happiness, which comes from within. Mixed-media illustrations on plywood add depth and luminance to the message-driven story.
