The book's summary reads as such:
"The Star Pixie is a being of pure light and joy; casting her whimsical rays all night and all day on the faraway world of Clarionix. But when a stray comet knocks her right out of the sky, her wonder and beauty are gone for good. Sad and alone, she wanders the surface of her world.....until she meets the Serpent Queen, a creepy, crawly creature with crown, a staff - and an important lesson about facing your hurt head-on, and harnessing it for something beautiful."
----
!! This book provides examples of:
* AnimateInanimateObject: Clarionix, where the Pixie and the Serpent Queen live alongside [[DisneyAcidSequence various other surreal creatures]], orbits a pair of happy, smiling suns and a green moon that drinks rain out of a wine glass and hangs out with both the Pixie and the Serpent Queen.
* BigEgoHiddenDepths: The Star Pixie, though it takes the Serpent Queen to summon up her inner strengths.
* [[spoiler: HeroicSacrifice: The Serpent Queen gives the Pixie her crown as she sheds her final skin.]]
* NoNameGiven: Is the Star Pixie a name, or a species? What about the Moon of Clarionix, or the Serpent Queen, for that matter? Not all of the creatures are OneOfAKind, so they can't be the only ones.......[[LastOfHisKind right?]]

* ProudBeauty: The Star Pixie, before her little run-in with an angry comet.
* TearJerker: The ending, as well as some of the stanzas.
