A hidden star's glow fades until kindness sparks a town's transformation.
A girl discovers a fallen star and hides it, fearing its glow is fading. As she worries about her starkeeper skills, a simple act of kindness reignites the star's light. This small gesture sparks a chain reaction, transforming her dreary town into a place of dazzling brightness. Can one star's journey of kindness illuminate an entire community?
"Because it did shine. Not all at once. Not in a grand way. But in tiny sparks that warmed and flamed..."
— from the book
A fallen star and one child’s kindness lead to a chain of good works that change her town from a dreary, dark place to one of dazzling brightness. When a girl finds a fallen star, she decides to keep it hidden. But this star encourages kindness and needs to shine, so it comes out from the shadows. At first the glow from the star starts to fade, and the girl worries–maybe she’s not a very good starkeeper. Then a chance gesture of kindness seems to brighten the star, and soon this kindness leads to a chain of good works that light up the once-dreary town. The art of the book follows the star’s journey and lights up more and more with each act of kindness.
