A young Jewish boy is given a star to wear. At first he is proud of the decoration, but soon finds the star overshadowing him - no one sees the boy, only the star. Lonely, frightened, and helpless, he watches as other star-wearers are led away into the night. Told in poetic language, this book offers a message of tolerance and inner strength.
