Aaron's Secret Message
by: Pfister, Marcus
Aaron is fascinated by a remarkable star that shines in the night sky. Every
evening it seems bigger and brighter and more wondrous. Perhaps it's sending
me a secret message, he thinks. He even dreams of the star, a dream that
leads him to a stable on a cold winter night. When he awakens, the dream
is forgotten amid the hustle and bustle in Bethlehem. The streets are crowded
with people coming to register for the census. All the houses are filled
with visitors, and when Aaron meets a man and his wife and their little
donkey searching for a place to stay, there is not a room left in all of
Bethlehem. Then Aaron remembers the stable in his dream and so becomes a
part of the great miracle of Christ's birth. 26 pages. Color illustrations.
Ages 6-10.
