Book Cover & Preview Text
Read this story and meet the tiny little star who could not glow.
“A star so dim, a star so small, That no one noticed him at all, He was alone in the sky above, For there was no child for him to love”
Learn how a chance encounter with the Christ child fills his heart with love and how he becomes the brightest star in the sky and the bearer of good news. Best of all, learn how the star humbly accepts his gift of great light and dedicates himself to the Lord.
Children will love the tiny star and welcome the idea that they have their very own star to wish upon, a star that watches over them through the night. Parents will love the many opportunities to teach their children about the love of Christ and the power to transform lives.
While this story is likely to become a Christmas favorite, it is a fun read and has a message that is important for every day and any day. Share it with a child you love or with a parent you love.

About the Book
The Star Who Almost Wasn’t There tells the story of the first Christmas star and how he was transformed to become the brightest star in the sky. The story was written in 1965 for the author’s first niece, who was born in that year. Stacey was premature and at risk, given a fifty-fifty chance for survival. But survive she did, and she is today the mother of three. As a college student, the author wanted to give her new niece a special gift for her first Christmas, and decided to write a children’s story dedicated to Stacey Ruth. Once the idea formed, the story unfolded naturally.
