Will he find his glow? Read on to find out! Little Star’s Wish By: Susan Summers WC: 207 Little Star looked around the sky and announced, “I want to shine like Sirius! I love how she twinkles and twirls.” “It’s not time yet,” Mother said. After thinking for a moment, Little Star said, “I want to beam like Betelguese! He has the best shimmer and swirl.” “It’s not time yet,” Mother replied. “When will it be my time?!” He cried. “You’ll know.” She answered with a wink. Little Star watched others light up the night. They blinked, winked and zipped through the sky. “When will it be my turn?” He wondered. “Twinkle, twinkle, little star,” sang a child’s voice. Little Star swirled. Where was that coming from? “Look at that face. So sad.” He thought. “Maybe I can help.” With a wiggle and a waggle, he began to glow. Using all kindness and love in his heart, he pulsed out the brightest light possible. “Look Mommy! I see a bright red star in the sky!” Shouted the child. “I see it too. Was it there before?” “It’s like a beautiful valentine. So pretty,” she smiled. Little Star was so proud, he pulsed a little brighter. “You found your glow,” said Mother. “Beautiful like Betelguese, steady like Sirius,” said Little Star. “It’s my time to shine.”
