The old woman had only one wish: to celebrate a real Christmas, with a tree and presents and candles and food. Just once. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHigh up in the heavens, Star Mother's youngest child makes a wish, too. \"Mother!\" he wails, \"just once I want to celebrate Christmas like they do down there!\" So Star Mother sends him to earth, where he finds a hut and knocks on the door . . . \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn this original, heartwarming fable, Louise Moeri tells the story of an unlikely friendship and how it made two Christmas wishes come true. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"In three words I can state clearly why I wanted to be a part of the children's book field: Trina Schart Hyman. In 1975, the year I graduated from college, I won a literary prize for my own writing and with the money I bought books. One book in particular altered the course of my life: STAR MOTHER'S YOUNGEST CHILD. Both the story and Trina's heartfelt illustrations propelled me to be a part of the wondrous world of children's books. I still have my first edition copy, a bit tattered from frequent readings and poring over Trina's artwork. Whenever I needed encouragement this book, with all its magic, gave me that artistic boost.\" Olivier Dunrea, author. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51445073117407,"sku":"9780618615094","price":8.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/DckRolHEcr9780618615094.webp?v=1790211190"}],"url":"https:\/\/blackandbarhe.com\/collections\/louise-moeri.oembed","provider":"Black \u0026 Barhe Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
