The North Star
by Peter H. Reynolds, 1997

The North Star is the story of a young boy's journey through life. It is an allegory that raises questions about which road we take and how to seek out our own unique path through life. The magical illustrations and gentle text reveal the empowering wonder of navigating our true potential. The North Star celebrates the individual. It invites us to rethink curriculum, career choices and other critical life decisions in a way that respects who we really are and our own unique gifts. It has inspired children, teachers, parents and people from all walks of life. I was so inspired by this book that I developed a presentation for students based on its premises. ISBN: 1891405004
