ONE ROUND MOON AND A STAR FOR ME

A young boy watches with excitement as three young girls
bring water, Sis Beauty brings a special cake of soap and Sis
Anna brings the little paraffi n lamp to light for his mama’s new
baby. But when he sees his papa smile and admire the baby’s
two tiny hands, his heart suddenly feels dark, like a night with
no moon.
At last he asks, “Papa, are you really my papa too?” For a young
boy, the birth of a new baby brother helps him to understand
his own special place in the family.
