Starfish Stays Still! (A story about Stoic calm)

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. 

While the ocean does what oceans do, with waves sloshing, fish zooming and seagulls scrapping – Starfish remains steady and still. 

And when a storm arrives and the world feels too loud and overwhelming . . .  

Starfish stays just as still!  

Eventually, other sea creatures notice her stillness and they learn to be calm, too . . .at least for a little while.  

Featuring bestselling author-illustrator Philip Bunting’s signature charming characters, witty text, and playful repetition, Starfish Stays Still! is part of the Wise-ish Tales series—playful, story-led introductions to big ideas that children will want to read again and again. 

Through a cast of charming animal characters, children will discover a gentle message about stoicism and managing emotions, even when things feel chaotic.
