Little Star hopes to win the big star contest set for December 25. When he discovers all the stars are as hopeful Little Star cries causing his points to rust. Little Star busies himself polishing, polishing, polishing and forgets all about checking to see what day it is. At last the heavens were astir, angels and prophets spent much time making notes and talking in hushed tones. Little Star has a special surprise waiting for him when he realizes what day it is.

This story was written in such a beautiful and eloquent manner. Children will delight in the star and all he goes through to be the brightest. Heather Leigh Schaefer has proven to be an excellent illustrator and her artistic talent is astounding. The illustrations literally leap off the page with their liveliness.
Children will be tickled by this book and parents will smile as they read along with their child. Of course, this story was written for Christmas but it would be wonderful for any time of the year. "Little Star's Big Day" serves as a perfect tool to teach children how to read and have a deeper appreciation for the stars. Furthermore, it's a unique way to teach children to accept themselves for who they are.
