Tiny Starfish, Briefly Mine

By Scovia Rushing

Tiny Starfish, Briefly Mine is a gentle story for children and parents who have loved a baby for only a little while. Simple, lyrical language is woven with Scripture's promises to remind families that even the briefest life is precious to God. Through soft ocean imagery and an honest look at sorrow, this book offers space to grieve, hope, and find peace in the One who calms every storm. A comforting read for bed-time, remembrance, and healing - because every tiny starfish leaves a lasting light.
