About the Book
One night in Bethlehem, a small, dust-colored cat returns to her stable to find that a Baby has been born in the night. As all the animals tell the cat about the gifts they gave the Christ Child, the cat sadly concludes that she is too little and powerless to give a gift to the King. But when the Baby shivers and the cat leaps into the manger to comfort him, she discovers that she can give the best gift of all—herself. This timeless Christmas book celebrates the fact that everyone has a gift they can give the King, no matter their size or stature. Enchanting illustrations and a heartfelt message make this book a Christmas keepsake that can be enjoyed year after year.
My Thoughts.
This was a super cute kids story. My children (ages 6 and 4) really enjoyed reading it. I loved the cat and the powerful story that sometimes our smallest gift can be the greatest! It was a great conversation starter that God just desires us to give all of our selves - and to have a relationship with him. My boys were huge fans of the animals in the story. Beautifully illustrated.
I received a copy of this book through Worthy Publishing, all opinions are my own.
