If your child has ever doubted how special they truly are, Ella the Superstar will remind them that the brightest magic lies within. This heart-warming tale by Goose in Gold, beautifully illustrated by Kris Lillyman, captures that universal childhood worry – “Am I good enough?” – and turns it into a joyful journey of discovery, courage and kindness.
When Ella is given an “impossible” weekend challenge by her teacher, she soon learns that real superpowers don’t come from flying, turning invisible or wearing a cape – they come from gratitude, friendship, and self-belief. With the help of her ever-cheerful friend Giggly Furbottom, Ella uncovers the seven golden rules for a happy life – lessons that sparkle with wisdom and laughter, and will stay with little readers long after story-time ends.
This enchanting book is the latest chapter in the magical Giggly Furbottom Adventures, a growing series that’s fast becoming a family favourite. Each story combines giggles and goodness, inspiring children to dream big, stay curious, and believe that kindness is the greatest power of all.
