Religious "The King of Christmas is a wonderfully accessible book
with a simple but powerful message and illustrations that are among
the best I've come across in children's literature this year. [...]
Very highly recommended." --Readers Favorite' five star review The
star of the King of Christmas--where will we find him? Inspired by
the story of the magi and Mary's Magnificat, The King of Christmas
invites children and families to share the joy of searching for
Jesus during Advent. Join FatCat and the wise men as they follow
the light of the Christmas star, journeying over sea and field,
through market and temple, to find the King of Christmas. In each
place they look, a new friend joins their search. The journey
doesn't end at the manger. Once the magi and their lively cast of
friends and friendly beasts find Jesus at the nativity scene, they
ask where else he can be found. On the cross? In the tomb? And
where do we find the King of Christmas today? In his word, where he
promises to be found. Wherever his name and word are, you will find
him too. Merry Christmas to all God's children!
