I'm not familiar with that particular story, but I remember reading a lot of books by Arthur S. Maxwell around that time. His "Bedtime Stories" books were collections of stories that each had a lesson or moral. It sounds like something that might be in one of his books.
That particular story sounds like The Star Money / The Star Talers, which is a fairy tale collected by the Brothers Grimm - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sta...So it could be in a collection with other Grimm tales, or with stories from other sources entirely - I'm sorry that I haven't helped to narrow it down much!
Olivia, can you describe the illustrations - realistic/cartoony/cute, simple/detailed, painted watercolors/bold graphics, bright/dark/muted colors/black & white?
Do they remind you of another illustrator or picture book author?

We would really love to share this collection of stories with our children, if only we can find it!
