Like the Be the Star You Are!® series of books for teens and adults by Cynthia Brian, Stella Bella's Barnyard Adventures illuminates a simple fact for kids-we were not created equal. We are far better than equal. We are unique. We are individuals. We each have the ability and the responsibility to use our talents, genius, and strengths to sparkle, shine, and make a positive impact in this small galaxy we call Earth. We must strive to be the stars we were born to be.
We all have a superpower! It is up to everyone to discover it.
