What is The Wishing Star about?

Little Brown Mouse and Little Grey Mouse are the best of friends, sharing every adventure. One magical night, they see a bright wishing star tumble from the sky and disappear into the lake. Eager to find it, they race along the river, through the moonlit night, and reach the water’s edge. But there is only one star—and both mice have a special wish to make. Can they find a way to share the magic without letting their friendship fall apart?
