A journey into the Star Kingdom!

"Claire is a friendly, happy girl. She's a first grader that's a bit too perfectionist. Claire thinks that making mistakes means failing. She doesn't want to see her teacher's red corrections on her schoolwork, because it frightens her. Claire begins to feel bad, till one day her belly starts hurting at the sight of corrections. "What if the growling Red X Monsters have come to live in my belly?" thinks Claire. That night, while Claire is asleep, a special  friend comes to help her overcome her fear, Edward the little magic star! With a slight touch of a magic wand, the two friends travel toward the wonderful Star Kingdom! There Edward will teach Claire something special and important; making mistakes doesn't mean failing, but receiving the opportunity to learn something new. Claire understands that she doesn't have to be scared of her own mistakes, instead, she can learn from them. But is this story just one of Claire's dreams? Or is it for real? Let's find out together!"
