Celestina is a little girl with a big dream—can she overcome peer pressure and bullying to accomplish her astral ambition?
“Well,” said Miss Stella, “it's time that you soar.
Trade in your ballet shoes for the great rocket's roar.
Dream your big dreams and never give in.
It is never too late for you to begin.”
