Hold on Starfish!

A story-led introduction to philosophy for children, from bestselling author-illustrator Philip Bunting. Hold on Starfish! explores how to stay calm when everything around you is stormy.

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.  

Warm, funny and full of playful repetition, Hold on Starfish! is part of a collection of story-led introductions to philosophy from bestselling author-illustrator, Philip Bunting. 

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