Beyond the Stars

Beyond the Stars: Solene Leads the Pod is inspired by real orca behavior and the third book in this orca series. When the sea shimmers beneath a starlit sky, a young orca named Solene begins her most important journey yet. Born into a close-knit pod, Solene is curious, brave, and learning what it truly means to lead. As she swims alongside her family through calm waters and gentle waves, Solene discovers that leadership isn't about being the biggest or the fastest-it's about listening, caring for others, and trusting your own voice. With lyrical prose and luminous illustrations, Beyond the Stars: Solene Leads the Pod is a tender story about confidence, belonging, and growing into who you are meant to be. Perfect for young readers who love the ocean, animals, and stories that inspire kindness and courage, this book invites children to look beyond the stars-and within themselves. A beautiful celebration of family, leadership, and finding your place in the world.
