Star's Purpose: An Air Force Mission

Twinkle, twinkle. Star winks and blinks through the night.

But he wants to be more than a nighttime twinkler. He wants to make a difference all the time.

One morning, Star sees a glimmer from below. Will Star discover the secret to the daytime sparkle?

Star's Purpose is an Air Force book for kids that supports the idea that our "Air Force stars" have a very important job, day and night.

Families searching for a special connection while their loved one is away will be reassured with the gentle reminder that, "Every time I see a star, I'll think of you."
