Each story serves as a mini-lesson to teach a virtue and includes a quote from 'Abdu'l-Bahá, a reflection question, and a prayer. Forming a relationship with 'Abdu'l-Bahá is an exciting journey for children. Learning to love 'Abdu'l-Bahá inspires children to connect with their best selves and nurture the seeds of virtue within their hearts. Virtues serve as compass points to guide a child's choices and actions, helping them become shining lamps and brilliant stars. Prayers and reflections at the end of each story help young hearts think about their own lives and values while nurturing a meaningful relationship with their Creator. Dispersed throughout the book are photos of 'Abdu'l-Bahá. His tender eyes and magnetic countenance serve to both engage and open hearts.
