An Inspirational Folk Tale
By David E. McAdams
To the stars, said Tomison.
And now that you know you can?
Tomison smiled. I will go back. And teach others how to walk.
In the gentle village of Lester, where mountains sleep and the wind speaks through tall trees, lives a boy with a dream bigger than the sky. Tomison doesn't wish to fly or ride upon clouds. He wants to walk to the stars on his own two feet.
With a bundle of barley and shoes made of straw, he sets off at dawn, guided by the voice of an ancient obelisk and the hush of a world alive with secret magic. Along the way, Tomison meets a stag that speaks, a staircase made of light, and the stinging shame of failure. But he climbs again. And again. Because the stars, he learns, reward the stubborn.
Written in the timeless voice of folklore and the musical rhythm of poetry, Stairway to the Stars is a luminous tale of resilience, humility, and courage. Ideal for children ages 6 and up, but just as powerful for adults, this story invites readers to believe in impossible journeys and to leave invisible steps behind for others to follow.
Perfect for:
- Readers who love beautifully written folk tales
- Families seeking meaningful bedtime stories
- Classrooms exploring character education and perseverance
- Anyone who's ever dreamed of reaching the stars
Features:
- Poetic, lyrical prose that reads aloud like a lullaby
- A message of quiet bravery and tenacity
- A memorable character whose journey will stay with readers
- A mythic, nature-rich setting full of wonder and gentle mystery
