About This Book

In this delightful story of a Christmas nativity play, little Mary thinks she’s the star of the show. But as the play unfolds, she discovers that every scene — from a tent to a phone to a lion — actually reveals something amazing about Jesus. The tent shows that He came to live among us, the phone reminds us that He connects us to God, and the lion declares that He is King of all.
By the end, Mary (and every reader) learns that Jesus is the true star of Christmas — and it’s wonderful to know Him.
