Laura's Christmas Star.

Christmas day is almost here. Laura and her younger brother, Tommy, can hardly wait to go to Aunt Martha's and see her sparkly Christmas tree.

Unable to sleep the night before, Laura and Tommy sit by the window and stare at the sky full of stars. One star appears brighter than the rest. Laura smiles a "secret smile" because the star is her friend.

How it helps brighten everyone's Christmas day will surprise and delight readers.
