Miles is a young starfish who loves familiar things. One afternoon a shifting tide pulls him free of his rock, and before he can catch hold again the current carries him past every place he knows by heart. Papa Dean does not stay behind. He lets the water carry him too, until the rhythm of the moving ocean begins to settle the feeling inside.

For Kids
When everything inside you feels too big to name, movement can help your body settle. You don't have to explain it for it to be real.
For Parents
Movement isn't a distraction — for many kids it's how the nervous system organizes itself. The kinder move is often to step into the current beside them, rather than ask them to come back to the safe rock.
