Following a young boy's journey through life, The North Star is an allegory that raises questions about which road we take, and how to seek out our own unique path through life. The North Star celebrates the individual. It invites us to rethink curriculum, career choices, and other critical life decisions in a way that respects who we really are and empowers us to use our own unique gifts.

This classic storybook is now a gorgeous 15 minute animated film with narration by Tim Curry and original score by Tony Lechner. The DVD includes a bonus interview with Peter, who shares his creative process and philosophy, as well as a study guide with engaging activities related to the film’s themes. A read-along feature highlights each word on screen as it is simultaneously narrated.

"Everyone will fall in love with The North Star, as I have. If only every individual could find and follow his or her own star and be encouraged to do so. How different the world would be."
- Dr. Jane Goodall, Scientific Director, The Jane Goodall Institute
