The Little Starfish's Map

Little Starfish lives in a bright blue ocean filled with soft sand and gentle waves. With five plump arms and a coral-orange body dotted with tiny peach spots, she spends her days exploring the reef and gathering treasures in her green seaweed satchel. One sunny morning, while digging near a cluster of pink coral, she finds a folded piece of old, salty paper—a map covered in strange, squiggly symbols she cannot read.

Determined to understand the map, Little Starfish turns to her friend Hermit Crab, a clever and patient creature with a striped spiral shell and round blue glasses. Hermit Crab teaches her that the symbols are clues: a circle with three dots means a big rock, a wavy line shows deeper water, and a spiral means turn around. Together, they follow the map past tall sea grass and over sandy hills, solving puzzles and learning to read the symbols as a team. Written by Ebru Mina TOMURCUK, this heartwarming story shows young readers the value of curiosity, friendship, and teamwork. The tale can be read on Onlinemasal Com.Tr.
