Talk about: How does hearing the Nativity through the stars’ perspective shape your understanding of the story?
Its faith-centred message links being small with being valued by God, and presents wholehearted love for Jesus as central to Christmas.
The Nativity includes the Holy Family being rejected repeatedly and the baby Jesus being born in a cold, dark stable.
What does Little Star understand about why Jesus is born little, and how does that change the way he sees his own size?
