Royal Blue

Lany finds a beautiful stranded starfish. She rescues the starfish and takes it home but is this a good idea? Lany must decide whether to keep her starfish or set her free. What should she do? This story personalises the starfish. This allows the reader to identify with it, and see it as a living creature, which belongs in its natural habitat rather than an object to collect. Young and older children alike will enjoy this story, whether read to or for them to engage with. The book presents an ecological message in a way young children will understand, while matching the comprehension age of 8-11 years.
