A Christmas star for Francoise grows brighter and brighter as Jeanne-Marie and her sheep Patapon discuss the prospects for Noel. While Jeanne Marie dreams of presents Patapon worries that he has no shoes to put under the chimney for Saint Nicholas. Then Jeanne-Marie secretly buys a pair of wooden ones for him and Christmas morning is a happy one. Francoise's familiar artwork, in bold lines and colors, lights the pages.
