This is a beautiful story about a Christmas miracle. When a horse gets lost in a snowstorm, an old man finds her collapsed in the woods and barely manages to lead her into the shelter of his barn. When he goes to check on her in the morning, he discovers that during the night she gave birth to a little colt with a perfect star on his forehead.
I used to recommend this to almost everyone who came into the store when I was at Barnes and Noble because it is such a sweet story. I think the underlying lesson that it is always good to help those in need and that you never know what additional good will come of it is a great lesson for kids of all ages.
