About the Book

A fun and gentle story about disability, family and fitting in, told by a major children’s author and illustrated by an artist with dwarfism.

This is the story of Starr, a girl with dwarfism who lives with her mum and younger sister, Babs. As the girls get older and Babs overtakes Starr’s height, Starr understands there is something different about her.

When Starr starts primary school she is at first upset by being shorter than the other children. But with help from her mum and teacher, Starr finds the courage to shine.
