The Starfish Wish by Elliot Fisher is a charming book that will help parents teach children about the importance of taking action to clean up our planet. The story follows Stevie the Starfish as he notices how much litter is cluttering the oceans, beaches, and lands far and wide. Stevie tries to get the attention of other marine and land animals, but they’re too busy to notice or help. When Stevie decides it’s up to him to “be the change,” the other animals start paying attention. The Starfish Wish is a wonderful way to share an important message for our times with young children: each one of us can make a difference, and if we each do our part, we can work together for a cleaner, brighter future for our planet. Go, Stevie!

"I've read a lot of children/baby books lately with an infant at home. I normally end up closing the book and mumbling to myself "who wrote this terrible book?" I have yet to find a book like this one that talks about an important issue and lesson for children to be aware of in their upbringing and encourage them to be the one to make a difference when they see a need for change A unique book that communicates a great message and lesson to the next generation."
