A Spaceman Came Travelling by Barbara Elsborg EPUB

The gift that lights up the night sky

Working a Christmas Eve shift in a local café, Seven overhears a young boy’s wish that melts his heart.

The only thing Ben wants for Christmas is a spacesuit, so he can visit his mother who now lives amongst the stars in heaven. With Christmas Day only hours away, Seven’s determined that Ben’s wish comes true as he sets about making the spacesuit himself.

When Cooper, Ben’s uncle, finds the gift-wrapped box outside his house, he’s determined to track down the person who left it, and repay the wonderful, selfless act of generosity which has made Ben so happy on Christmas Day.

A Spaceman Came Travelling is a story that captures the true spirit of Christmas — giving selflessly, sharing joy, and wishing upon a star — and a heartwarming reminder that during the holiday season, a simple act of kindness can light up even the darkest of nights.

This story originally appeared in a charity anthology that is longer available. The story has been revised and expanded.
