The Brightest Christmas Star

The Brightest Christmas Star by Laura Motherway and Deb Hudson (Lothian Children’s Books) HB RRP $19.99 ISBN9780734423085

A little star reflects on the different ways families celebrate being together in this bedtime story that captures the magic of Christmas. As the sun goes down on Christmas Eve, a little star rises, and watches over the celebrations below.

One family hangs a wreath on their door, another plays on the beach, another gives a present to someone who needs it more. The little star shines brighter as they share in the joy and magic of this special night.

 

This text is a heartwarming, contemporary lullaby for little ones to listen to as they snuggle up at bedtime, The Brightest Christmas Star gently acknowledges that Christmas means different things to different people, but at the heart of it all is love.

 

This is a perfect gift for baby's first Christmas, or for families seeking a book that reflects the Australian Christmas experience in an inclusive way that doesn't focus on Santa Claus or traditional family structures.
