From the moment a child arrives, life is filled with surprises, adventures, challenges, and joyful milestones. In this tender rhyming picture book, a loving family reflects on how far their child has come while encouraging them to keep moving forward: dance the next step, plant the next seed, climb the next tree, sing the next note, and write the next chapter. With dreamlike illustrations and reassuring verse, Count the Next Star celebrates courage, resilience, curiosity, and the unconditional love that follows children wherever life takes them. It is a meaningful keepsake for graduation, a birthday, a new school, or any moment when a child is ready to begin a new adventure.
