A young Jewish boy is given a star to wear.
Told in simple, poetic language, the book offers a tender message of tolerance and inner stre.
This affecting allegory, rich with symbolism, educates children about the events of the Holocaust in a way that young minds can easily grasp.

At first he is proud of the decoration, but soon finds the star overshadowing him--no one sees the boy, only the star.
