About This Story

Tonight's story is called The Star That Missed You. When Yusuf's best friend Idris moves far away across the hills, the old swing beneath the fig tree sits empty, and Yusuf feels lonelier than he has ever felt. Every evening he watches the brightest star rise over Starlight Plains and wonders if Idris is looking at the very same one. With his father's help, Yusuf weaves a small golden star to send across the distance — not knowing if it will ever be answered. By the end, Yusuf learns that a true friend is never really far away, because love sent with a sincere heart always finds its way home.
