The Three Wise Men

(2) PS This retelling imagines the Three Wise Men as enthusiastic astronomers (with telescopes, no less) who, seeing a new star, remember an "ancient story." They journey to a stable where they give their gifts to the baby and hear "angels singing." It's barely biblical, but it's just right for young listeners. The humble pictures, more sunny than starlit, depict the Magi as sweet old souls.
