Child Chasing Stars

When I saw the title of this book, literally, I thought it was a beautiful and heartwarming story. However, after reading it, I felt very heavy and thought-provoking. The harm caused by domestic violence to children is indelible, especially in childhood, where it can easily cause a shadow. Many places in the story, such as the rules at home, the anger switch, the "go home game" and the "disappear first and then apologize game" all describe Aniya's father as a man who is controlling, selfish and good at cold violence. So I often hurt them. Their mother took them to hide in a shabby hotel, but her mother still did not escape and died on the day she sent them to the dollhouse. The "murder suspect" is a metaphor that Aniya's mother was killed by her father. Although her mother left, Aniya firmly believed that the burning star that appeared in the news was her mother. The process of searching for the star made people admire the courage of a ten-year-old child, from Oxford to London. Fortunately, the result was good. There are people in this world ready to help you and your loved ones. No matter how old or young you or your loved one is. I hope that when we need help, we are surrounded by kind people.

"Domestic violence" refers to behavior by one party that harms, controls or intimidates another party. Abusers will use many methods to harm the other person. They may use physical violence, or they may use words to cause harm or fear to others. They may also intentionally make others feel confused, feel stupid or lose their self-confidence. Many abusers try to control their victims by cutting them off from friends and family, or by limiting their financial resources. Causing harm to others or attempting to control others is against the law and no one, regardless of age, should have to endure this. The plot is a bit cliched, but the story is touching and of great significance. However, it can go deeper. Opposing domestic violence is not only for your own safety, but also for the physical safety and mental health of your children. You can endure it, but if your child grows up in such an environment of domestic violence, her/his psychological cognition will be greatly affected. They may even think that the relationship between husband and wife is just like that, and it is normal for a man to beat a woman and her husband to beat his wife. This is terrible. So not only for yourself, but also for the next generation, stay away from people who commit domestic violence against you.

How long has it been since you looked up at the stars? The darker the sky, the brighter the stars. Did you find out? "Children Chasing Stars" is undoubtedly a dazzling star in the starry sky of books. It is a book suitable for anyone of any age to read. Unless you don't like being loved and stars in the night sky. Kant once said: "There are two things in the world that can deeply shock people's hearts. One is the lofty moral principles in our hearts, and the other is the brilliant starry sky above our heads." If you have experienced similar trauma in childhood, then "Children Chasing Stars" will undoubtedly be a healing journey that takes you on a journey of self-discovery. Of course, you will also gain courage and love. In "Children Who Chase the Stars", the protagonist Aniya and her younger brother came to Aunt Iwuchukwu's home for foster care after their mother "disappeared". There were several other foster children in this family - the stuttering Tevez, the annoying Sophie, and the loyal Ben. Aunt Iwuchukwu is very gentle, and the rules of her foster care are completely different from the strict family tradition of her own. Children can wet the bed, scatter food everywhere, and scream without getting scolded. Compared to some places where people are afraid of being punished if they do something wrong, this foster family and aunt made Aniya and her brother feel more relaxed and happy. However, what troubles them is Sophie, who is older than them. She is a "saboteur". She likes to lie, even though it's not a big deal, but she always likes to pin some unfounded "crime" on Aniya and her brother. This will undoubtedly trigger Aunt Iwuchukwu's anger "switch" because she particularly dislikes children lying. But Aniya, who had "lost" the ability to express herself, felt frustrated and unable to refute. She suffered the punishment silently every time. She had no way to let her aunt know that Sophie was the child who lied. Every time after putting her brother to sleep, Aniya would open the window, look at the stars in the sky, look for her mother, and draw various constellations. Anya wants to be a star hunter, what we call an astronaut. Her mother once said: "I will live on one of the stars and smile on a certain star. Whenever you look up at the starry sky at night, it will be like seeing all the stars smiling." Therefore, after her mother "disappeared", Aniya always believed that her mother was an unknown star in the sky. Protecting their siblings in a place she didn't know. By chance, Aniya discovered that there was an ongoing activity on the Internet to name a newly discovered asteroid. She stubbornly believed that this asteroid was the star that her mother turned into, so she wanted to name it after her mother. But there are only a few days left for the event. Aniya decided to run away from home and go to the Royal Observatory in Greenwich where the event was held. She originally wanted to go alone, but was persuaded by two other loyal friends to go together. He also promised his mother that he would take his brother with him at any time, so the four children embarked on their unknown "journey to chase stars." Both Iwuchukwu and the police thought they were looking for their father, but in fact, Aniya had already forgotten some things. After her father violently murders her mother, Aniya suffers from intense stimulation and loses her memory. Forgot that he had lived with "domestic violence." But even in such a family, the mother still told her children: "Ordinary people can become the brightest stars in the night sky as long as they have a pure and kind heart." After many hardships and battles of wits along the way, Aniya finally arrived at the Greenwich Observatory in London. Here, she saw many star catchers, and her story moved everyone. Her bravery and perseverance also won everyone's appreciation. In the end, Aniya achieved her wish, and the asteroid was successfully named "Isabella". That is the name of their mother who loves them the most. "Children Chasing Stars" is a rare book, not only because it dares to expose "domestic violence" that has always been in a hidden corner, but also because it pays attention to such a group - children who have been devastated by domestic violence. Domestic violence is very harmful to children. Every slap that falls on a child during childhood not only brings pain and tears, but also deprives him of the ability to feel love and happiness. Childhood is the first time a person comes into contact with the world. When he understands the world he lives in, he will feel deeply any harm; he will also be deeply attracted by warm treatment. A good childhood can heal a lifetime, but a bad childhood takes a lifetime to heal. Maybe "Children Chasing Stars" cannot eliminate the existence of domestic violence, nor can it completely change the harm of domestic violence to children, but it is like a "star". As long as we believe, it will definitely plant the seeds of "stars" in our hearts...

Never lose love for this world, and please take Father Time seriously(っ˘зʕ•̫͡•ʔ

It tells the story of four foster children who embark on an escape plan in pursuit of a special star and ultimately succeed. Although the article is about domestic violence, there are no words about domestic violence in the story, but a metaphor. In the final ending, it is revealed that the children have witnessed domestic violence between their parents. The author describes it in this special way.

"If you miss your mother, just look up at the starry sky at night."

How long has it been since you looked up at the stars? The darker the sky, the brighter the stars Did you find out? Kant once said: There are two things in the world that can deeply shock people's hearts. One is the lofty moral principles in our hearts, and the other is the brilliant starry sky above our heads. If you have experienced similar trauma, then "Children Chasing Stars" will undoubtedly be a healing journey that takes you on a journey to find yourself. In addition, you will also gain courage and love The joys and sorrows of homestay "The snow in the sky is falling quietly. There is a rag doll on the roadside. Rag doll, rag doll. Why don't you go home?" This once touching song may be rarely sung today. Although a TV series was a hit and left an indelible impression on Chinese teenagers and children, it disappeared without a trace. This drama tells the story of SOS International Children's Village This story is not fabricated out of thin air. In many places, there are mothers like Shen Danping, who sacrificed their own love and family, and used the great love of the world to give those children who have lost their parents and families a new, loving family. In the book we are going to talk about today, "Children Chasing Stars", the protagonist Aniya and her younger brother came to Aunt Iwuchukwu's home for foster care after their mother "disappeared". There were two other foster children in this family. The aunt at home is very gentle, and the rules of foster care in her home are completely different from those elsewhere. Children can wet the bed, scatter food everywhere, and scream without getting scolded For a child who is only five years old, he will hiccup and cry because of fear, dare not sleep alone, and will wet the bed because of nervousness. Although ten-year-old Aniya is distressed, fortunately, the siblings are not punished for this. Compared to some places where children are afraid of being punished if they do something wrong, this foster family and aunt are pretty good. However, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes In particular, children who have lost love and family protection early have their own pains and inner fears, and are particularly prone to premature maturation. Sophie, who is older than them, is a "saboteur" element. She likes to lie. Although it is not a big deal, she always likes to pin some unfounded "crime" on Aniya. This certainly flipped an angry "switch" on the foster care aunt, who especially didn't like it when her children told lies. But Aniya, who had "lost" the ability to express herself, felt frustrated and unable to refute. She suffered the punishment silently every time. She had no way to let her aunt know that Sophie was the child who lied. Every time after putting her brother to sleep, Aniya would open the window, look at the stars in the sky, look for her mother, and draw various constellations. Aniya wants to become a star hunter, what we call an astronaut, but before she can do that, she knows she must first become a star clue collector "I will live on one of the stars and smile on a certain star. Whenever you look up at the starry sky at night, it will be like seeing all the stars smiling." Perhaps Aniya is also looking for her mother and her mother's smile in the stars. She started her journey to the stars "The stars we see with the naked eye may have exploded and died hundreds of millions of years ago. It is the most mysterious accident that their light reaches my pupils now." The stars in the sky seem to be born with scientific knowledge and magical healing power. It is closely related to science and dreams By chance, Aniya discovered that there was an ongoing activity on the Internet to name a newly discovered asteroid. She stubbornly believed that this asteroid was the constellation that her mother turned into, so she wanted to name it after her mother. But there are only a few days left for the event Aniya ran away from home. Many people thought she was looking for her father. So there is this clue in the book, four missing children are tracking a suspect But in fact, Aniya has already forgotten some things After her father violently killed her mother, Aniya lost her memory due to the intense stimulation. There is no tragic description of domestic violence in the book. It's an obscure narrative from a child's perspective. Those so-called game details are all revealing information about domestic violence. "Going Home Game" "Disappear and Apologize Game" "Furniture Moving Game" "Hide and Find Game" Every time dad comes home from work and needs to move furniture. My mom would let me watch "The Lion King" with Noah, and she would lock the door and turn on the TV with the remote. Sometimes, my father would slam the door hard and call my mother's name loudly. At this time, she had to watch a movie with my brother. Even in such a family, the mother still told her children: Ordinary people can become the brightest stars in the night sky as long as they have a pure and kind heart. Aniya finally arrived at the Greenwich Observatory in London. Here, she saw many star catchers, and her story moved everyone. Her bravery and perseverance also won everyone's appreciation. In the end, Aniya achieved her wish, and the asteroid was successfully named "Isabella" That's what they love most It is also the name of their favorite mother Love and bravery heal pain "Don't Talk to Strangers" brought domestic violence to the screen and also tore off the fig leaf of many families. Those who are harmed by domestic violence include, in addition to the wife who suffers the violence, the children who witness the violence with their own eyes and suffer invisible harm. A person's growth is inseparable from the background of his family background When we look at a child, what we often see is the shadow of his parents. In her original family, Aniya never knew when she would accidentally press her father's anger switch and be violently injured. So in the foster home, even when Sophie framed her for intentionally knocking over the pasta plate, the first thing Aniya felt was fear instead of explaining that she didn't mean it. In a family, how parents get along and communicate will also affect the child's personality, growth and other aspects. When family is related to violence, it is bound to be a story with pain. When bravery is related to love, it is bound to be a magical journey of self-healing. Everyone is a child who chases stars. Even if you are in the dark, don't forget to look up at the twinkling starry sky. I also hope that every time we look up at the stars, we can find our unknown selves. As Aniya said: I always believe that in the vast universe, there is a star that will never stop burning. I don't know where it is, but I know that it must exist and is waiting for my visit.

It's very interesting. Although it is about domestic violence, the whole story is narrated from the perspective of a little girl, and the plot is very relaxed. A child who lost his mother firmly believed that his mother had become a new star and did not want anyone else to name his "mother's star", so he embarked on a big adventure to London with four "brothers and sisters". It is worth reading, and I hope that one day the perpetrators of domestic violence will get the punishment they deserve, and I hope that none of us will be harmed.

There are many people who love you behind you, and everyone has their own star. Come on

Aniya and the others are very brave, and her mother is great. We must believe that there is still love in the world, and hope that domestic violence will stay away from the world.

This is a book on the theme of "anti-domestic violence". There are still quite few books on this theme (perhaps because I still read too few books). I am very happy that I am lucky enough to read this book. I hope that more people can read this book. I hope that everyone who reads this book can realize the harm of "domestic violence". I hope that there will be less "domestic violence" in the world.

It's a heartwarming story and perfect for listening to during leisure time. I hope that children all over the world have a happy childhood, and that every lovely person can receive kindness.

I hope every child can have a lot of love and live a carefree life! ! !

It truly reflects the innocence and romance of children and the strong friendship between children. In today's society, there are many domestic violence incidents. As Aniya's mother, she is great. Although the whole article does not mention domestic violence, it also makes us feel the harm that domestic violence brings to children and society. I hope we can all grow up well.

I didn't even think about domestic violence until I heard it. It restored the innocence of a child. While listening to it, it reminded me of an Oscar short I had seen before, about a lost little boy searching for his home along a stream. On the way, he met many small animals traveling together and encountered various weather conditions. On the road of growth, you will encounter various situations. Nothing is smooth sailing, you can only keep moving forward.

Her love for her mother and pursuit of the stars are really touching. The plan in the story is very interesting, and I also like her friendship with her friends. The author writes so well that I felt like I was on an adventure with them. I think everyone should read this book.

I really like it, and the title of the book is also nice

Very nice and very satisfying. This book is written so that people can get close to it. Domestic violence is told through dialogue and humor. It allows people to easily understand what it means, and can empathize with it and express what it feels like. Really well written.

It's very interesting and the story is very exciting.

The stars shine so that everyone can find his or her own star

I felt a touch of sadness when I watched it. Writing heavy topics from a child's perspective is even more shocking. Fortunately, the ending is good.

The author writes very well, the writing is vivid and interesting. I think the highlight of the book is the process from when Aniya, Noah and others get on their bicycles to London and arrive at the observatory. This process is interspersed with the reasons why they were adopted. They overcome many obstacles together and never give up when things happen. This is a kind of courage that even adults may lack. At the same time, we should say no to domestic violence! No one should be born into violence

Very touching story

Aniya's mother protects her very well

Humility, because you are just dust; honor, because you were once stars.

I wish there was more love in the world.

God of gods, anti-domestic violence

Oh, you have made enough tears for me

Really heart-warming words! !

Super invincible and beautiful! ! ! ! !
