Der Sternenbaum

An elderly man sits alone in his house and remembers how Christmas used to be. With his siblings, he had cut out golden stars and hung them up so that the Christ Child would find his way to them. But since then, the city has grown and neon signs everywhere advertise for attention. Will his crafted stars shine brightly enough to show the Christ Child the way? Since its publication in 1997, "Der Sternenbaum" has been read year after year in many families. Gisela Cölle's warm-hearted Christmas story tells of how a return to the things that really matter brings people closer together in this day and age. Now this classic is available again as a picture book edition.
