Little Star: Christmas book for kids

“I think I understand!” Little Star cried out. “The baby Jesus is a king! He’s just little!”

A king is about to be born! The stars in the heavens are competing to shine the brightest to celebrate his birth. But when they see the poor family, the donkey, the shabby stable, the stars all think, That can’t possibly be a king. We’ve been fooled.

All except one.

The smallest, loneliest star in the sky, Little Star, is the only one to understand what the king was about to bring to the world. But what can Little Star do for him?

The Little Star written by Anthony Destefano makes a connection between the star we put on top of our Christmas tree to the true meaning of Christmas and the birth of Jesus.  It’s important to us that these connections are made for our girls.  Amidst the stories of Santa and presents, we want them to know the true meaning and reason for the season.  In fact, we do a birthday cake and sing Happy Birthday to Jesus on Christmas day.

The pictures are very nice and the story is good for children of all ages.
