Description
The heartwarming story of a child's enchanting dreamtime adventure on the eve of Three Kings Day.
It's the night before the Three Kings Day feast, and an excited little boy is trying to fall asleep, but he can't because the three majestic Kings suddenly appear outside his window! Before he knows it, he's riding a camel and traveling with them through a vast desert, following a star that leads them to a tiny stable and a precious newborn baby. The Three Kings all have wonderful gifts for the baby Jesus, and the little boy wishes to give something, too-but what could that be?
Filled with the wonder and magic of Christmas and Epiphany, this enchanting tale celebrates the joy of giving, which shines through in a simple yet profound act of kindness.
