A family tradition under winter clouds

Ella’s first winter solstice trip with Gramps brings together a holiday tree outing and the family’s tradition of wishing on a star. When clouds obscure the star and a snowstorm interrupts their plans, the story turns to how Ella and Gramps might keep the tradition meaningful in a changed form. The seasonal setting and family ritual give the tale a clear frame for exploring disappointment, adaptation, and the ways traditions can continue even when circumstances shift.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 interested in winter holiday stories.
  • Families who enjoy books about seasonal traditions and shared outings.
  • Young readers navigating disappointment when plans change.

Book overview

When clouds cover the solstice star, Ella continues the family tradition on wishing on a star on winter solstice in a new way.

A warm, wintry tale that helps kids navigate disappointment, reminding readers that even when plans shift, the magic of tradition can still shine through.

Bundled in snow clothes, Ella waits to join Gramps on her first winter solstice adventure. They go up Winter Solstice Hill, where they will pick a holiday tree and Ella will get to partake on the family tradition for the first time: making a wish on the winter solstice star. But when clouds hide the solstice star, Ella worries she will miss out on this important family tradition. Then a snow storm forces Ella and Gramps to cut their trip short.

Will Ella be the only one in her family to not make a wish on the winter solstice star? Or will Gramps help her find a way?
