He started walking through the snowy forest, following the beautiful star.
As Tim Tom walked… something wonderful happened.
🌟 He found a little bunny who was cold.
Tim Tom shared his warm scarf.
The star twinkled brighter!
🌟 He found a raccoon who felt sad.
Tim Tom gave him a big Tim Tom hug.
The star sparkled even more!
🌟 He found a possum who dropped all her acorns.
Tim Tom helped her pick them up.
The star shined brighter than ever!
Tim Tom looked up and whispered,
“Jesus, You help my heart shine when I am kind.”
Then Tim Tom remembered the Bible story:
A long time ago, a special star shined when Jesus was born. Jesus came to bring light into the world.

And the Christmas star twinkled happily over Tim Tom and all his friends.
