Synopsis
This is just the sweetest children’s book! The story is a little angel’s version of the first Christmas, as suitable for children today as it was fifty years ago. In the story, the little angel feels that he has made no contribution at all to heaven. His little efforts he feels go unnoticed, as he only goes around polishing the stars. His small unassuming job in heaven becomes his greatest contribution, when his shiny star leads the Three Wise Men to Bethlehem and the manger with Baby Jesus.
