'Only A Star' describes in words and pictures the quiet moments before anyone knew of Jesus' birth, when the light from the Christmas Star transformed the smallest creatures and the mot ordinary objects in the stable into glorious decorations to welcome the Child.
Dragonflies, spiders, scarab beetles, doves, donkeys, jerboas, snails, nightingales - all of these creatures lived in the Holy Land when Jesus was born and helped brighten the stable that first Christmas morning.
