Overview

The Seashell Star: A Mauritian Christmas Tale In a sun-drenched Mauritian village where the air smells of frangipani and the sea whispers against the coral reef, twelve-year-old Paula's grandfather entrusts her with a simple, leather-bound notebook. It is not filled with rules or recipes, but with the faded memories of his own childhood Christmases-of lanterns made from ledger paper, trees decorated with shells, and Sega rhythms that lasted long into the balmy nights. Inspired, Paula vows to fill the remaining pages with her own December, to truly see the magic of her island home. But when she notices her friend Jean retreating into a shell of grief after the loss of his father, her quest becomes more meaningful. Through seashell stars on the beach, a wooden flute from the market, and the quiet power of shared stories, Paula discovers that the truest Christmas magic isn't about observing traditions, but about weaving a new tapestry of hope, friendship, and healing, one small, luminous moment at a time.
