Thom, Kai Cheng: From the Stars in the Sky to the Fish in the Sea

From the Stars in the Sky to the Fish in the Sea – A Tender Tale of Identity and Love

In the twilight hours when the sun and moon share the sky, a child named Miu Lan is born in a cozy blue house on a hill. Miu Lan is unlike anyone else—they can become anything they dream: a bird, a fish, a star, or something in between. But when they enter the world beyond their home, filled with curious stares and difficult questions, Miu Lan begins to wonder where they truly belong.

Surrounded by uncertainty, one thing remains constant: the unconditional love of their mother, who gently reminds them,
"whatever you dream of / I believe you can be / from the stars in the sky to the fish in the sea."

This enchanting picture book, beautifully illustrated and poetically told, is a celebration of self-discovery, gender fluidity, and the power of a parent’s love. A must-read for anyone seeking a story that embraces difference and affirms the beauty of being exactly who you are.
