A grandfather's story comes alive through the adventures of a young starfish who finds courage as he remembers the lessons his mother taught him. Inspired by the beautiful Pacific Northwest coastline, Sixto the Smiling Starfish is a beautifully illustrated children's book written by a father and daughter duo. This heartwarming story will spark discussions about bravery through the challenges of life, new experiences, positive attitudes, and even the importance of caring for the world around us.
Sixto is a young starfish who leaves his tide pool searching for adventure. He encounters hungry seagulls, sneaker waves, and other dangers along his way. Sixto's experiences offer a glimpse into the abundance of teeming sea life within rocky tide pools. The bright illustrations and playful prose will put the reader in the moment, hearing the crashing waves and catching the scent of the salty sea spray. Readers will smile as they hear the grizzled old starfish yelling out, Wave! Wave!
A great read that can bring young children and families together, encouraging them to create stories and memories of their own. A generous portion of the proceeds of this book are donated to Spice Isle Smiles- a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing charitable dental care to children in Grenada.
