Bookroo's summary

Henry the snail hides in his shell by day and explores alone at night, wondering one thing: what are stars for? The Australian animals he asks are dismissive, and each answer sends him back into hiding. But Henry takes a deep breath and keeps trying, until he finds his answer and a friend. A gentle picture book about curiosity, facing fears and friendship.
