I have been searching for a children’s book since I saw it in a catalog when I was expecting my second child in 1996. The story is very similar to the Little Match Girl, but I loved it because instead of dying, pennies literally rain down on the girl and she does not die. I ran into an employee of a book store several years later and she said she had the book as a child and it was titled “Pennies from Heaven”. I have not been able to locate this book by the possible title or the description of the story. Thanks for your help!
‘The Penny Tree’ by Will Reese published 1994?
Thanks for your response, but unfortunately that isn’t the book.
The Falling Stars or Star Money, is a Brother’s Grimm story. This sounds like that?
“Apples from Heaven” by Naomi Baltuck?
