What is The Star Tree about?
On Midsummer’s Eve, Miranda’s night-light goes out. She climbs onto her rocking horse and makes a wish, beginning a magical journey beneath the midnight sky. Guided by a great white owl, she meets a little red hare, a big white bear and a magnificent stag. Together, they travel to the Tree of Constellations, where Miranda picks a tiny star. A great white goose then carries her safely home, where the star glows gently beside her as she falls asleep.
