Synopsis

Starly and the Rainbow Bridge is a tender, whimsical fairy tale that gently untangles the delicate threads of a dog’s life and passing. Marking the literary debut of Cristi Na Han, a former South Korean television writer, this enchanting book traces the lifelong journey of a canine soul—from the magical moment of meeting a human companion, through a lifetime of shared love, to the bittersweet farewell.
What filled our hearts when we first welcomed a dog into our lives? Did we truly nurture them, or did we merely let them inhabit our yards, offering food but withholding our presence? Writing for children and adult beginners in the world of pet companionship alike, Cristi Na Han gently reminds us that the living creatures crossing our paths possess worlds far vaster than we imagine. They are not born simply to serve humanity; perhaps, they come into our lives to teach us the profound grace of 'responsible love.'
In the opening chapter, the author unveils a breathtaking, never-before-seen vision of canine heaven. From there, we follow the protagonist, a dog named Starly: the day she arrives on Earth, the moment she encounters her destined human love, the beautiful days they share, and finally, her journey after leaving this world. Every footstep from arrival to departure is painted with radiant beauty and deep emotion.
As the first installment in a trilogy—followed by Starly and Planet Earth and Starly and The Tear Weaves—this book weaves a poignant message of love and responsibility through the eyes of a dog.

A Global Journey of the Heart:
After capturing hearts in South Korea (2022) and inspiring readers in Spanish across Mexico (2024), Starly finally crosses the linguistic rainbow bridge this year to meet English-speaking readers worldwide. This deeply moving story has proved so enchanting that it has already leaped off the pages in Korea, transformed into a magical family musical by the National Folk Gugak Center and a mesmerizing contemporary dance performance.


Editorial Review
"A breathtaking visual allegory that dissolves the boundaries between our blue oceans and the cosmic unknown. The author reimagines parting not as a final goodbye, but as a graceful connection, gently soothing the hearts of all who have shared their lives with a canine companion. The seamless bridge between Seoul and San Diego, paired with deeply immersive illustrations, leaves a lingering sense of peace long after the final page is turned."
