The Brightest Christmas Star

Beschreibung

As the sun goes down on Christmas Eve, a little star rises up and watches over the celebrations below. One family hangs a wreath on their door, another plays on the beach, another gives a present to someone who needs it more. The little star shines brighter as they share in the joy and magic of this special night. A heartwarming, contemporary lullaby for little ones to listen to as they snuggle up at bedtime, The Brightest Christmas Star gently acknowledges that Christmas means different things to different people, but at the heart of it all is love. A perfect gift for baby's first Christmas, or for families seeking a book that reflects the Australian Christmas experience in an inclusive way that doesn't focus on Santa Claus or traditional family structures. 'This delightful book is a true gift to the world' The Australian Women's Weekly 'A refreshing take on a story for Christmas . . . Exudes love while acknowledging that families and people celebrate Christmas in their own special ways. This really is a perfect gift for younger readers' Schooldaysmagazine.com 'Gentle, rhythmic language . . . stunning illustrations . . . If you're looking for a Christmas story that feels just right for Australian kids, this book is a perfect choice! It's a wonderful way to teach kids that love is at the heart of every Christmas celebration, no matter how it looks' Better Reading
