A Bellwether Christmas

Description

In this warm, delightful Christmas tale, a 13th century lamb named Bart wants to know more about a mysterious man from the town of Assisi who talks to animals. Bart and his friends face challenges and danger, learn the meaning of love, honor, and sacrifice, and help start the tradition of the Christmas crèche we still enjoy today. “A beautiful story of love and belonging which is such an important lesson to impart to our two daughters who are dealing with groups, cliques, and exactly where to fit in. I plan to give this incredible book to family and friends as a gift this holiday season.” —Brandi (Sherwood) Cochran, Miss Teen USA 1989, Miss USA 1997, former model, The Price Is Right “A heartwarming story with lovable characters and a touch of history and legend.
