The Starfish Wish: Small Changes Can Make a Big Difference (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781088116883)

This is a story of how small changes can make a big difference.

Our story starts with an idyllic vision of the ocean, full of shining water and colorful fish. Nevertheless, underneath the surface, there is a silent menace - pollution.

"Stevie the Starfish" has a wish, to make the world a better place. On his journey, he meets different creatures of the sea but none of the other animals listen to his message.

However, Stevie goes on. One night, he has the realization that he is a shining star and starts to clean up the environment. He decides to take action even knowing that he won't be able to solve the problem alone.

Stevie inspires other people to join in the effort to clean up the surroundings...by not backing up from his initial goal despite facing difficulties. The other animals notice his contribution, which creates a chain reaction. The community works together, and everyone benefits from the efforts of one small, but determined, starfish.
