Link and the Shooting Stars - Paperback

by Susana Balan (Author), Christian Zambruno (Illustrator), Claudia Cano (Author)

Link and the Shooting Stars explores the universal search for one's identity in a lively, original way through the experiences of Link, a young horse gifted in empathy but grappling with contradictory and confusing messages about life from those who love him. The story interweaves Link's vibrant inner world of curiosity, confusion, and even despair with the many adventures and challenges he overcomes during his quest to find where the shooting stars land-a quest that is, at its core, a search for Home, for the place where he can feel at peace with his own self.

Link and the Shooting Stars is for children and adults alike. Younger children will benefit from reading the book with their parents or primary caregivers, while older children will enjoy reading it on their own or with an adult. Reading the book together will help them to understand and be able to talk with each other about difficult family dynamics and the misinterpretations that often lead to strife between parent and child and to challenging, "acting out" behaviors. Professionals in education, mental health, child development, and related fields will find the book useful in their work with young people, whether in their private practice or in educational and other institutional settings.
