"Evocatively portrays this story of a boy who was so poor that his gift to Jesus was his drumming."- Publisher's Weekly"
A procession travels to Bethlehem, bringing gifts for the newborn baby Jesus. The little drummer boy comes along, although he is too poor to bring a present fit for a king. Instead, he plays a song on his drum for the Christ Child. Within the little drummer boy's seemingly simple gift lies the true spirit of Christmas.
