Little Wonders Hold On, Starfish, (Hardcover)

<b>Starfish lives on a rock in a very busy cove, where waves crash, and creatures busily scuttle here and there . . . but Starfish stays still. Always.</b> <p>While the ocean does what oceans do, with waves sloshing, fish zooming, and seagulls scrapping--Starfish remains <b>steady and still</b>. Even when a powerful storm arrives and the world feels a little too <b>loud and overwhelming, </b> Starfish stays just as still! Eventually, other sea creatures notice her stillness and they <b>learn to be calm</b>, too . . . for a little while anyway! </p><p>This <b>warm and funny</b> picture book, from <b>bestselling author-illustrator Philip Bunting</b>, is about <b>big feelings</b>, steady breathing, and finding stillness--even when everything around you is moving.
