About The Book
Discover the fourth collection by Shelby Leigh, the bestselling poet of Changing With the Tides and Girl Made of Glass, where she invites you to embrace the present, nurture self-growth, and discover hope in every moment of your journey through the sands of time.
Ever feel like you’re running out of time? Feel lost thinking about the future? From Sand to Stars provides a reminder that every day is a new day to find joy and self-acceptance, no matter where you are in life’s journey.
Exploring the concept of time and how it affects our mental health, From Sand to Stars will make you feel heard and seen, while inspiring you to embrace all life has to offer.
Sand, section one, represents the hourglass—how time gets away from us and causes overthinking and anxiety. Soil, the second section, represents self-care, growth, and the joy that surrounds us when we look for it. Finally, Stars provides an uplifting final section on finding hope and healing around us.

Raves and Reviews
"As someone who struggles with recurrent existential crises and fears the slipping of time, this collection felt like a warm hug. Shelby’s work recognized and validated my fears while also gently cradling them to rest. To pause so that I can be present in this moment and be me! I’ve never felt more seen than in this poetry. And it left me feeling hopeful — for my growth, for self love, for the time yet to come." — Makenzie Campbell, author of 2am Thoughts and Self Portrait
"From Sand to Stars is a treasure trove of wisdom and light. Its pages give readers a place to grow, to grieve, to hurt, to rest, and to dream. It is a beautiful book that takes you on a journey of both heartbreak and hopeful possibility." — Liz Newman, author of the Mourning Sky series
