When Balthasar loses his daughter, a shadow descends on his life, taking away the light of hope he needs to fulfill God's plan for him. But a shining star appears in the East, calling Balthasar and his friends on an important quest. Can Balthasar overcome his grief and find strength for the journey ahead? What gift can he bring?
"The fable is richly effective and the questions direct and unpretentious, safely encouraging discussion..."

The result is a beautifully crafted Christmas narrative, with a unique twist to a familiar and much loved story that holds our hope in the midst of sorrow. A must read for anyone struggling with grief at a festive time of year."
