A glimpse inside

Set in the night sky above the Rift Valley, this gentle bedtime fable follows Zuri, a young star who learns that her warmest, brightest efforts to help a struggling friend only push the friend further into darkness. The answer is not more light but less: a quiet, steady presence that makes room for someone else to glow. A story about patience, restraint, and the unexpected courage of softness.
