The old woman had only one wish: to celebrate a real Christmas, with a tree and presents and candles and food. Just once. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHigh up in the heavens, Star Mother's youngest child makes a wish, too. \"Mother!\" he wails, \"just once I want to celebrate Christmas like they do down there!\" So Star Mother sends him to earth, where he finds a hut and knocks on the door . . . \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn this original, heartwarming fable, Louise Moeri tells the story of an unlikely friendship and how it made two Christmas wishes come true. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"In three words I can state clearly why I wanted to be a part of the children's book field: Trina Schart Hyman. In 1975, the year I graduated from college, I won a literary prize for my own writing and with the money I bought books. One book in particular altered the course of my life: STAR MOTHER'S YOUNGEST CHILD. Both the story and Trina's heartfelt illustrations propelled me to be a part of the wondrous world of children's books. I still have my first edition copy, a bit tattered from frequent readings and poring over Trina's artwork. Whenever I needed encouragement this book, with all its magic, gave me that artistic boost.\" Olivier Dunrea, author. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eMoeri, Louise:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Louise Moeri is the author of many books for young readers, but Star Mother's Youngest Child was her first.
