Bookroo's summary
In a timeless Russian folktale, an old woman declines to join the Three Kings on their journey to find the Christ child. Regretting her decision, she embarks on her own endless search, renewing it each year. Will she ever find the child she seeks, or is she destined to wander forever? This poignant tale, rich in tradition and mystery, invites readers to ponder the power of faith and the consequences of missed opportunities.
From the publisher
A Russian folk tale [adapted by Ruth Robbins] about an old woman who, declining to accompany the Three Kings as they followed the star in search of the Babe and failing to find Him on her own, each year renews her endless search. The strikingly effective pictures are distinctive in design and rich in color. ~~Booklist (Awarded the Caldecott Medal as the Most Distinguished American Picture Book for Children in the year of its publication)
