A little star in the night sky wants to be special and part of something big. He gets his wish and shines brightly as an announcement to all about a special birth.
The illustrations are charming and whimsical. The stars feeling of wanting more and being special like other stars in the sky is relatable for most.

The Star is a delightful tale of a star looking for it's purpose and wishing to be great. The dark illustrations with their barely there shadow trees in some cases and their easier to see colorful pictures in others make the book. I also love that the book introduces several constellations and explains the Star of Bethlehem. I would definitely recommend this book to small children. (I received this in a goodreads giveaway.)

I didn't like the illustration style. I liked the first part about stars and felt there was some sort of stigma at at the end about small and/or shooting star.

I absolutely adored this. I gave it to my niece and nephew after reading it myself. Such a sweet story about a star with a very important purpose. A great story for around Christmas time.
