\"\"<\/a>Bethlehem has never been so busy, Leah is the innkeeper's daughter and is rushed off her feet. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Then in the starlight miracles begin to happen.\u00a0 This is a beautiful , fresh, new telling to the Nativity Story through the eyes of a young girl. It brings wonderful humanity to the Nativity story. In Bethlehem today, there will be young girls just like Leah walking through the streets star gazing<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"Leah reached her own street. But suddenly, she stopped quite still. A great silver star was shining right above her home.\"<\/em><\/p>\n

The story is written for everyone and not just for those who believe in the Nativity story. There is a message of hope, peace and love, threaded throughout, and we all sometimes need to find that in a little space, whether\u00a0 a stable or somewhere else.<\/p>\n

The author Margaret Bateson-Hill <\/a>is a famous children's author , including her series of Dragon Racer. The illustrator Karin Littlewood<\/a> has a huge collection of children's book illustrations including The Colour of Home.<\/p>\n

Alanna Max<\/a> are the publishers and have a fantastic portfolio of beautiful books alive with diversity.<\/p>\n

The last page in Leah's Star has a powerful message of love and knowing ...but I will leave that for you to find.<\/p>\n

Happy Christmas from the Dolphin Book Blog<\/strong><\/p>\n
