The little bear, led by a glittering star, meets many others on his travels. His adventures, filled with acts of heroism and kindness and many small miracles, show him the path to the Christ Child. A beautiful book that teaches the true spirit of Christmas.

The classic text from Antonie Schneider is beautifully illustrated by the award-winning international artist Maja Dusikova.
