Description

A uplifting and touching story about curiosity and caring that is perfect for sharing.

Stella is a great detective. She cant help noticing everything around her clouds shaped like horses, wheelie bins with faces, a lonely glove on a fence, people that look like their dogs and even a man with a furry hat that looks like a cat on his head. Stella tells Dad about everything shes seen but Dad is worried that shes going to hurt peoples feelings.

But when Stella spots a sad lady in the park she knows that speaking up is just the right thing to do.
