The Road to Bethlehem is a heartwarming journey of faith, friendship, and the joyous mystery of the Incarnation--told through the eyes of animals who long to be near the Christ Child.
When Mary and Joseph set out for Bethlehem, they leave behind their loyal companions--a cat and a dog. But love knows no bounds. Determined to find their beloved Mary, the two animals embark on an adventurous trek across hills and valleys, encountering a colorful cast of creatures along the way: a fox, a goat, a bear, and even three camels bound for a majestic mission of their own.
In this beautifully illustrated story, young readers will follow this unlikely band of travelers as they help those in need, form lasting friendships, and ultimately arrive at the humble stable where Heaven meets Earth in the infant Jesus. With echoes of the Nativity story told in Luke's Gospel and the joyful pilgrimage of the Magi in Matthew, this delightful tale gently draws children into the wonder of Christmas and the God who came to be with us.
The Road to Bethlehem is a charming read-aloud treasure that highlights Christian virtues such as kindness, perseverance, and faith. Ideal for family story time during Advent or as a Christmas gift that inspires wonder in young hearts.
