Lamba is a little lamb who wants to see the world. One night he wanders away from his shepherd. Alone and afraid, he finds himself in a place where the song of angels fills the skies and a very special baby, Jesus, is born.
Later, in Jerusalem, Lamba encounters Jesus, who tells him he has to go away but will return one day. One more time Lamba looks for Jesus only to find crosses on a hill and angels saying “He is risen” at an empty tomb. When his shepherd finds Lamba, they share the good news with all.
The birth of Christ, his ministry, and death and resurrection are told for children ages four through eight through the eyes of the little wandering lamb, Lamba.
One little lamb. One holy night. One life-changing journey begins.
In the hills of Bethlehem, under a sky filled with stars, a playful lamb is born. Named Lamba by a young shepherd named Jonathan, this curious little sheep would rather explore than follow the flock.
But when Lamba wanders off one cold winter night, he stumbles upon something extraordinary—a stable glowing with warmth, a young mother, and a baby wrapped in love and light. It’s a night that will change everything.In Lamba in Bethlehem, the first book in the Lamba’s Journey with Jesus trilogy, children will experience the wonder of Jesus’s birth through the eyes of an adventurous lamb who finds more than just a stable—he finds the Savior. With gentle rhymes and heartwarming illustrations, this tender retelling of the Christmas story reminds readers that even the smallest wanderer is welcomed into the presence of the King.
