Anne Yvonne Gilbert does a fantastic illustration job. The book is a short beginning readers book. A nice story time book read.

Hannah is excited about the school Christmas play she's going to be in until she finds out she's to be the star - but she's the one that shows the way to Jesus, so that's not as disappointing. On the night of the play she's able to make the play special in her own way when something didn't go as planned. Fabulous realistic illustrations!

I really like the concept and the illustrations. Poor Hannah doesn't want to be a star in the Christmas play but she learns just how important this star is.
