“A tender reminder that the deepest connections we share are never measured by distance, but by the love we carry within us.

“I’m Right Here offers a fresh take on the mother-child bond, reassuring children that a mother’s love reaches across time and space. The story will resonate with every child, but holds special meaning for adopted children, reinforcing the bond they share with the parents who chose them. It captures the strength of the mother-child connection and builds a child’s confidence in that love and support, even when Mom isn’t physically present, making it a gentle, beautiful reminder of maternal love for children who have lost their mothers, too.”

There’s an intense bond that forms between a young mother and her newborn baby. For many mothers, this child who has just recently entered the world seems to have always been in their mother’s life. Perhaps the bond was there even before both mother and child were born… and will live on long after they’re gone. It’s a feeling that everything was meant to be, that their union was… written in the stars.
I’m Right Here beautifully expresses this cosmic connection between mother and child. Their story is told in a loving, meditative style, and their bond is played out in sparkling illustrations of two stars finding each other in the vast universe. Even a young child whose language skills are still developing will sense their mother’s love washing over them as this lyrical story is read to them. They’ll know that they are safe and loved because their mother is and will always be… right here.
Your atoms came from stars. The hydrogen in your body formed shortly after the Big Bang. Most of the heavier elements that make up you—carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, calcium, and iron—were forged inside ancient stars and scattered into space when those stars died. Those atoms later became part of the cloud of gas and dust that formed our solar system, Earth, and eventually living organisms. In that sense, the phrase "we are made of stardust" is scientifically accurate.
Stars explain where the matter in our bodies came from. Evolution explains how that matter became living organisms and eventually humans.
"We are children of the stars by our chemistry, and products of evolution by our biology."
