My friend and best selling author Anthony DeStefano has written a beautiful book for children, published just in time for Christmas, Little Star. The plot:

A king is about to be born! The stars in the heavens are competing to shine the brightest to celebrate his birth. But when they see the poor family, the donkey, the shabby stable, the stars all think, That can’t possibly be a king. We’ve been fooled.

All except one. The smallest, loneliest star in the sky, Little Star, is the only one to understand what the king was about to bring to the world. But what can Little Star do for him?

Certain to become a Christmas classic, this delightful tale connects the star atop our Christmas trees to the true meaning of Christmas, the birth of Jesus, in the hearts and minds of young children.

Little Star shines as brightly as he can, so brightly he burns himself out. But that is not the end of this touching story. If you can’t wait to know, watch none other than Pat Boone read the book…

Anthony DeStefano is the renowned author of 5 books. Many will recognize his others, such as A Travel Guide to Heaven and Ten Prayers God Always Says Yes To.

But you may not know Anthony is the executive director of Priests for Life, which is how I met him many years ago.

To fully disclose, I have no financial interest in publicizing Anthony’s book. I’m recommending  Little Star and have offered to run an ad because it’s a beautiful story with a great life lesson for children, authored by a fabulous unsung pro-life hero.

Order Little Star here and plan to read it to your children and grandchildren every Christmas!
