In the days leading up to Christmas, Mary and
Joseph’s path to Bethlehem is fraught with difficulties,
but as the stories in this book reveal,
a small miracle happens on each day.
The story of each miracle brings us a little closer
to Christmas, until we finally reach the stable in
Bethlehem where the light in the lantern is waiting
in anticipation of the Christ Child’s birth.
With 28 individual stories, this book may be
used as an Advent Calendar, with the first week’s
stories relating to the mineral world, the second
week’s stories to the plant world, the third week
to the animal kingdom, and finally the fourth
week to human beings.

a storyteller’s tale

“Once upon a time, perhaps two thousand years
ago, or maybe only yesterday, a man stood under
a tree and waited. As he waited, people began to
arrive: old people, young people, children, parents
with babies, and even a couple of dogs. They
settled on the cool grass under the shade of the
great tree, all around the Storyteller, for that is
who the man was.”
The storyteller’s tale is one we all think we
know—the story of Mary and Joseph and the
birth of a very special baby. However, do we
really know it? The Miracle in Bethlehem offers
a unique retelling that weaves largely forgotten,
ancient nativity legends into today’s more
familiar narrative. (Ages 6-9)
Sarah Burton has written for BBC History Magazine,
the Spectator, and the Independent.
Katriona Chapman’s work has been published in
Illustration magazine, Leisure Painter, and Artists
& Illustrators.

There once was a shepherd who lived in the hills
near Bethlehem. This shepherd was surly and
unhappy because he was lame and could only
walk with crutches. So he kept to himself, tending
the fire… until the amazing night when the angel
voices led the other shepherds away to Bethlehem,
leaving him alone on the hillside. (Ages 4-7)
