This is a childrens book that tells the story of Jesus in a way that I have never even thought of - from that of the little shining star.
There are two parts to this story - the story of the star and the story of Jesus.
The story of the star talks about how no one likes him, how he is too small and how everyone ignores him.
The second part of the story is about Jesus, about how He came to serve and save "the little people".
Although I think the author was trying to tie the story of the star to how Jesus came to save the ones no one likes - I didn't really like how it was tied together (or wasn't really tied together). I did appreciate the part of the little star story where even though he was the littlest - he was the only one who saw Jesus as the King through the poverty and circumstances.
If you are looking for a book that tells the story of Jesus in an entirely new way...this is the book for you!
Have a wonderfully blessed day!
