Ashtar was the wisest man in all the land, so people said. People came from far and wide to listen to Ashtar's wisdom. Ashtar told them about a time when a great king would be born. "A wise man must be ready," he said, "for this child will come from heaven itself."

Ashtar was the wisest man in all the land, so people said. People came from far and wide to listen to Ashtar's wisdom. Ashtar told them about a time when a great king would be born. "A wise man must be ready," he said, "for this child will come from heaven itself."

One night as Ashtar gazed up at the skies, as he did every night, his old heart leaped. There in the east was a bright star he'd never seen before...

We've all heard of the three wise men who followed the star to find the Christ child. But this is the tale of another wise man, Ashtar, who turns out not to be so wise after all. Ashtar, too, sets out to find the new king after seeing the star in the east. His wisdom enables him to assist the other wise men, the shepherds, and even the innkeeper in Bethlehem--yet somehow Ashtar keeps missing the most important things of all.

This humorous tale offers children a gentle reminder of the true meaning of Christmas and what it takes to be truly wise.
