Sometimes, we find the gift of friendship in the most unexpected places.
Lonely little Laura wishes for a friend. Her wish is granted in the most extraordinary manner – a star comes whirling down from the sky!
She brings it home and tends to it as a point has broken off.
Laura has a wonderful time with the star but its glitter begins to fade. She knows a star is happiest up in the sky and sets it free.
Oh yes, the star is all silvery, shiny and smooth to touch. Little ones will love it. :-)
The book is perfect in every way especially because of the almost magical quality of the illustrations.
Excerpt
Outside on the pavement lay a little star, fizzing sparks and colours like a giant sparkler.
“You’re beautiful,” Laura whispered, as she tiptoed towards it.
