Sammy is a sea star who gets washed up on a beach during a storm. He sees the stars in the sky and wishes he could be one of them. He meets a little boy who helps him to see that he is just as special as the stars in the sky.

“Am I a boy, am I a girl and why am I not like the other kids?” Sammy struggles with identity and personal definition only to realize that with time and supportive friends and family one can be just how he or she wants or needs to be.
