Wise Balthazar is going on an important journey; he is following a brilliant star and looking for a baby king! Small Camel and his mother are going, too, and Small Camel is carrying a special bundle tied to his hump. What is in the bundle? It's a long, hard trip across the great desert. Small Camel is very tired, and his feet hurt. When will we get there? he asks Mama. At long last the star leads them to a humble little house. A poor carpenter works outside. Can this be the home of the baby king? Rachel W. N. Brown's sweet nativity story will touch the hearts of children everywhere. Luminous paintings by Giuliano Ferri capture the wonder and joy of the birth of Jesus.
