Synopsis: A story of hope and encouragement from the bestselling author of The Return of the Ragpicker

All Tulo had wanted was some light and warmth to sustain him and his tiny sister through the terrible storm. But the star which he caught in the folds of his red kite promised far from more than that. Here is the shining, joyful message the star Acabar gave to Tulo—a message meant not only for the boy but for all those who dream of changing their lives for the better.

“A great story has again come from the genius of Og Mandino”—Dr. Norman Vincent Peale
