Ühel väikesel tüdrukul on tunne, et ta elab oma õe varjus. Kui tahes hoolsalt ta ka ema kaotsi läinud abielusõrmust ei otsi, üles leiab selle ikka õde. Kui tahes palju ta ka vaeva ei näe, tema kootud sall tuleb auguline, aga õe oma ei tule. Ka kostüümivõistluse võidab õde - õde on täht, kes särab alati eredamalt. Vanaisa lohutab tüdrukut ja jutustab talle loo, kuidas universum alguse sai ja kuidas kõik on omavahel seotud: me kõik oleme tehtud tähetolmust ja me kõik särame nagu tähed, ainult et igaüks särab omamoodi. Liigutav lugu aitab tõsta lapse enesekindlust ja -hinnangut, julgustab olema enda üle uhke ja otsima oma teed.Loo teevad elavaks ja meeldejäävaks pildid, mille autor, kunstnik Briony May Smith on Eesti lastele juba tuttav oma 2021. aastal ilmunud raamatuga "Margareti ükssarvik". Tema pildikeelt on iseloomustatud kui sooja ja õhulist, lummavat. Et raamatu keskmes on tüdruku ja tema vanaisa lähedane suhe, on see südantsoojendav kingitus vanavanemalt oma lapselapsele.
