The Little King: A Wise Man's Christmas Journey is a heartwarming story that follows a little man who had lived like a king his whole life. He had everything-wealth, adventure, family, honor, and fame-yet deep inside, something was missing.

Their encounter with the King forever changes the little man's heart. Though now gray and old, he discovers peace, love, joy, and a brand-new life to live. The Little King's vibrant, hand-drawn illustrations capture children's imaginations, while the rhythmic, rhyming text makes it a joy to read aloud.

It helps children see the Wise Man's journey as a reflection of the Christian walk and beautifully illustrates how God reaches out to all people-even those far from Him-revealing His sovereign plan for everyone to come to know the King of kings: Jesus, the Christ of Christmas.A timeless Christmas keepsake that families will treasure for years to come.
