About this episode

A curious girl rides a magical mechanical horse and learns the importance of home while helping a sick boy.

A curious girl who longs to see beyond her hill secretly rides a mysterious mechanical horse that transforms into a magical flying companion. Together, they journey into the sky where she bravely plucks a star and fills it with love to heal a sick boy far away. In the end, after seeing wonders across the world, she discovers that home is the most wonderful place of all. Hey parents, here are 4 ways to build attachment as you listen to the story together: 1.) Draw a star in the air above your child to help them visualize it. 2.) Model the breathing for your child. 3.) Do the tapping with your child. 4.) Tap your fingers lightly on your child's face like star dust.
