    About this ebook

    "And many years later, during a Very Challenging Moment, they listened to the wind and watched the evening stars and listened to their own hearts and to the Creator of Creation, because they never forgot that night in the desert when they learned what to do first in a

    Very Challenging Moment."

In 2017, she was a scholarship recipient for the prestigious Key West Literary Seminar. She volunteers at the Pat Conroy Literary Center in Beaufort, South Carolina.

      The author has noticed that, by strange and rare coincidence, the characters in this story share the names of real-life people who are indeed fine and brave, and include a princess and three fine princes.

      They are, truly, stars of wonder.

      image001 ell us again, Nana, about the magic people that went to see the new king!

      The magic people? Whoever are you talking about?

      You remember! The magics from far away. They rode on camels.

      Magics?

      Yes! They were really smart, and they saw a ginormous star and they knew a new king was there where the star was going, so they followed the big star.

      Oh, the magi! They weren’t magic exactly, but they were called magi. They were smart, that’s right. Sometimes people called them the Wise Men. They were probably royal, like princes.

      Just princes? Are you serious? Why wasn’t there a princess?

      Oh, of course there was a princess! There’s always a princess in great stories of royalty and wisdom and bravery and love.

      Tell us again, Nana. I think Jay-bug was too little last time, and he doesn’t remember.

      Chapter 1

      A very long time ago, in a place far away, there lived a royal family: three fine brothers, all princes, and their lovely sister, the princess.

      They lived in a beautiful village near the ocean, and played on white-sand beaches and took naps under swaying palm trees.

      And at night, under the stars, their mother and father taught them all about the moon and the sun and the stars, even the constellations.

      One night as they lay on their blankets looking up into the heavens, Princess Phoebe thought she saw a new star.

      Mama! she whispered. They whispered at night because the soft winds and the calls of the owls and the sound of the waves created such beautiful music.
