In The Night the Stars Went Missing, Winston has spent each night watching the stars glimmer across the skies. When they suddenly go missing, he knows something is wrong, and sets off on a mission to find them. His investigation takes him to the clouds, where he meets a humorous shooting star and discovers that the stars have not just vanished, but that they have gone into hiding. Winston learns that their reason to hide is due to fear — that they, too, shall be next to experience the stress the humans have placed on their friend, planet Earth. It is up to Winston to convince the stars to return.
