Leo of Bethlehem

The Nativity as you’ve never heard it before – through the eyes of a little dreamer with eight legs and a very big heart. High up on a beam in a quiet Bethlehem stable lives Leo, a lonely spider who spends his nights counting stars and dreaming of a better life. When a brilliant new star appears in the sky, Leo is certain it must be magical – perhaps even powerful enough to grant his wishes. But the Star has something far more wonderful in store for him. As shepherds gather, kings arrive from distant lands, and the world seems to hold its breath, Leo discovers that sometimes the greatest miracles are not the ones we ask for, but the ones that transform us forever. Full of warmth, charm, and gentle humor, Leo of Bethlehem offers a unique retelling of the Nativity story, seen through the eyes of a curious little spider who learns about love, hope, and the magic of one extraordinary night. Perfect for family reading at Christmas – and for anyone who believes that even the smallest creatures can play a part in the greatest story ever told.
