(3) PS Illustrated by Peter H. Reynolds. An angel ponders what to give a soon-to-be-born baby, deciding on "the best gift of all"--she can provide a comforting "light in the darkness" by becoming a star (the Star of Bethlehem, in fact). McGhee conflates the Christmas and Epiphany stories, with the Magi already in attendance at Jesus' birth. Those willing to overlook that will enjoy the sweet text and endearing illustrations.
