Star girl

Karin Littlewood

Gracie has a star. Every night it shines for her outside her bedroom window. But every morning, as dawn breaks, Gracie's star fades from the sky. So one sparkling night Gracie climbs the tallest tree and gently takes her star out of the sky. Now she will have it with her all the time. But what a disappointment! In Gracie's hands, her star lies dull, cold, and grey. She fills her room with sparkly things, puts the star in a tide pool, and takes it to the place where the fireflies flitter. But nothing can make her star shine. At last Gracie knows what she has to do . . . and that night she gets a wonderful surprise
