Nathan dreams of being a shepherd like his father, yet his heart belongs to crafting figures from wood and wool. When an angel heralds the birth of a special child, Nathan faces a dilemma: he has no gift to offer. As he grapples with his passion and duty, Nathan must discover what truly makes a gift meaningful. Will he find a way to honor the newborn without his beloved crafts? This enchanting tale, set against a backdrop of gentle wonder, invites young readers to explore the true spirit of giving.
