The Star Darlings series, a new book series from Disney, is all about the power of wishes and girl power. This post is sponsored by Disney Press; giveaway prizing and samples are also provided by Disney Press. Amazon affiliate links included. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
At the start of a new year, most people (even if they aren’t resolution-setters) tend to reflect on what they’ve accomplished over the past year and what is in store for the year ahead. It’s only natural to want to make the coming year a little bit better than the year before and celebrate the past year. I know I do! This year, we’re looking at the new year in a slightly different light, thanks to Star Darlings, and reflecting on our wishes for the new year. What are your family’s wishes for 2016?
I’ve always found that it’s easy to “wish big.” Some things that might not make it on the goal list DO make it on my wish list, and after meeting the Star Darlings, I’m convinced that we all need to wish a little more. Wishes are powerful motivators, after all.
ABOUT STAR DARLINGS
Series by Ahmet Zappa and Shana Muldoon Zappa for ages 8-12
ABOUT STAR DARLINGS
Launched in Fall 2015, Disney’s “Star Darlings” is a stellar original property for tweens that answers the question of where wishes come from, and features a diverse array of star-charmed girls who encourage and help others to fulfill their heartfelt wishes.
Just like real girls, each Star Darling has her own wish that she pursues with full force and determination—and the help of her friends. These shared journeys and experiences provide exceptionally positive examples to inspire tweens to follow their dreams, and are experienced through books, dolls, music and apparel, along with a mobile app and animated shorts.
Disney “Star Darlings” offers an innovative and unparalleled lifestyle experience that encourages tweens to harness the power of their individuality, highlights the power of making positive choices, and shows that they can make anything possible.
About The Stories:
As far back as anyone can remember, Starlings who have completed special training, have granted wishes for Earthlings. But a major crisis is afoot and soon twelve unique girls from the prestigious Starling Academy are chosen to be the first student Starlings to venture to Earth. Rich with themes of friendship, confidence, leadership, and teamwork, the Star Darlings as they are known, go on the most magical adventures of their lives. Determined to succeed in spite of their youthful inexperience, the girls show courage and ingenuity—plus a whole lot of humor—as they guide Wishers to discover happiness and fulfillment.
You can watch Episode 1 here:
Initially conceived by designer Shana Muldoon Zappa, and her husband, New York Times bestselling author Ahmet Zappa (Because I’m Your Dad), “Star Darlings” was inspired by their daughter. “Our intention with Star Darlings has always been to empower girls and let them know there is an unstoppable wish energy created by positive thinking, taking action, and believing in yourself,” said Shana Muldoon Zappa.
