Stardust, science and STEM subjects combine to create a touching picture book that's perfect for bedtime.

One little girl dreams of being a star. But whether it's finding Mum's lost wedding ring or winning the fancy-dress prize, her big sister always shines brighter. Yet for her grandad she IS a star and, as he dries her eyes and they both gaze up at the night sky, he tells a story, the story of the beginning of the world. Everything and everyone is made of stardust, and we all shine in different ways. It's a lesson this little girl will never forget . . . and one day her dream comes true, and she finally realises her ambition to become an astronaut and fly up, up, up into space.

A heartwarming family story from bestselling award-winning author Jeanne Willis that encourages girls to aim for the stars and achieve their dreams.
