Laura and her little brother Tommy make a kite to take to the park on a windy day, but it doesn’t fly very well. Over and over, the kite drifts back down to the ground and the bullies at the park tease them. Tommy is disappointed. Laura secretly calls upon her "special friend" a glittering star, who sprinkles magical stardust on the kite that will make it fly as high as the stars! Now the bullies at the park won’t tease Tommy anymore. Klaus Baumgart gives us another charming story of magic and love featuring the big-hearted Laura and her best friend, a special, glittering star.

Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 2-This gentle story of wish fulfillment is a companion piece to Laura's Star (Little Tiger, 1997). Laura and her little brother Tommy's homemade kite fails to fly as high as the others, and then rips when some bullies trip the boy. He feels very sad and discouraged. However, that night, Laura makes a wish on her own secret star, which comes down from the sky to sprinkle stardust on the kite. The next day, it soars high and the children release it so that it can fly up to the stars. Sweet, childlike watercolor cartoons capture the wonder and magic of this appealing tale.
