Three Brave Stars

"As with all epic battles of kingdoms past," Queen Edith answered, "special and brave loved ones perished. But that is how we got our beloved stars." 

So begins a story that captivates young audiences with a compelling tale of bravery, sacrifice, and everlasting hope. Meet the royal family in the enchanting kingdom of Bellagio and take the journey with them as they learn that not all stories are about their happy endings. Some are about the way love lives on when the story ends. Three Brave Stars speaks to children and families who have lost a loved one, reminding them they always remain connected to those they can no longer see. With charming characters and vivid world-building comes a fantasy adventure that validates the individual experience of grief with the comfort of the stars to commemorate the ones watching over them. 

In her debut children's story, Three Brave Stars, Licensed Creative Art Therapist, Licensed Professional Counselor, Board Certified Art Therapist, and National Certified Counselor, Robyn Spodek-Schindler, wants to provide a hand to hold as children cope, knowing that the stars will always shine down on them. 

THE BEST PART: This book includes a bonus activity for families to create their own star to commemorate a lost loved one. What's more, Robyn offers guidelines for parents and adults reading the story to children, promoting productive conversations and support to all involved.
