The Welcome Star
A peek inside
One crisp autumn evening, just after the stars began to twinkle, Victoria was reading a book about famous cities around the world.
“I couldn’t help overhearing,” Atlas said with a grin. “Would you like to see New York for yourself?”
“This is a Welcome Star. It shines brightest when someone helps another person feel like they belong.”
“The world is a very big place. But it’s much less scary — and much more wonderful — when you have someone to explore it with.”
