Solen was a tiny star in the sky, once full of sparkle—until he started comparing himself to the other stars. The brighter they shone, the dimmer he felt. When Solen’s light finally fades, he wonders if he was ever meant to shine at all.

But down on Earth, a little girl named Maren still looks for him every night. And when her love reaches him across the sky, Solen begins to remember something very important: his light never truly left.

The Star Who Forgot to Sparkle is a Cub Club original story for ages 3 to 7 about self-doubt, emotional safety, and the quiet power of being seen. It’s a gentle reminder that our worth isn’t measured by how bright we seem—but by the truth of who we are.

This story gently supports: • Self-worth and emotional validation • Managing comparison and self-doubt • Quiet confidence and inner light • Being seen and accepted as you are
