Book Synopsis

Candela acaba de nacer y no sabe bien qué o quién es. ¿Será una estrella? Al fin y al cabo, tiene luz como ellas.

Candela no sabe qué animal es, acaba de nacer y no hay nadie como ella cerca. Se encuentra con Grillo y Polilla, quienes le explican que es un insecto, pero no recuerdan cuál. Ella cree que puede ser una estrella porque tiene luz, como las que ven en el cielo.

Esa misma noche, una niña sale de casa con su farol persiguiendo las pequeñas luces que iluminan el bosque. En la oscuridad se encontrarán y se harán amigas. ¿Ayudará la niña a Candela a entender quién es?
