A Star Among Stars: How Dominic Learned That Being Different Makes You Special.

By Marilyn Carter

Parenting a child with special needs can be a journey filled with both deep challenges and extraordinary moments of love, strength, and discovery. Some days are heavy families who walk this path know that truth by heart. A Star Among Stars does not turn away from those moments. Instead, it looks closer.

Meet Dominic Carter Jr., a bright, big-hearted child diagnosed as a baby with epilepsy and a learning disability. As Dominic grows, he faces the everyday hurdles many children experience but few people truly understand sensory overload, social confusion, and those painful moments of wondering, "Why is this so hard?"

Through Dominic's journey, young readers see reflections of themselves, while parents, teachers, and caregivers find words that comfort and insights that help guide the way. This heartfelt story offers compassion, understanding, and practical encouragement for families navigating the world of learning differences.

Perfect for families, classrooms, and reading groups, this inspiring book speaks to the real experiences many children face every day while reminding them of something deeply important:

Every child has a light within them.

Sometimes that light simply needs someone to believe in it.

If your child needs courage and you need hope open this book. Lift your chin. Hold your head high. Your star is already shining.

Because every child is a star... and this book helps them shine.
