The Captain's Cat and the Stars of the Sea
Theia is the captain's cat who keeps watch
over the ship as it travels the world.
Like a sentinel, she sits on the deck each night and looks out to sea.
She watches beautiful twinkling stars appear in the night sky
and she also sees stars shining in the sea, leaving Theia
to wonder at how this could be.
Determined to solve the mystery of the sea stars, Theia must turn to
her sea friends for the hidden answers.
