The Night the Animals Met the King

Description

Everyone knows the story of Christ's birth - no room at the Inn - the star - the manger - the shepherds - the wisemen - and of course the baby Jesus - wrapped in swaddling clothes. The Night the Animals Met the King recounts that magical story, but through the eyes, voices, and personalities of the animals in the barn on that Night of Nights. This beautifully illustrated hardcover heirloom captures the imagination of children, and will be a favorite story time read for parents and grandparents each Christmas season for years to come.

Inspired by his role as a soon-to-be grandfather, Beattey set out to create a family heirloom of sorts. What started as a simple 'story' on paper, blossomed into the Night the Animals Met the King when he met a young illustrator (Olivia Vittitow) who brought that simple story to life. New to the Children's genre, Beattey is not a new author. His two books in his professional capacity as a financial advisor, speaker, and trainer have been widely circulated and continue to sell today. Since starting this project, he has become an actual grandfather to a beautiful grand-daughter - Scarlett. Beattey lives in the Indianapolis area with his wife Julie, and two daughters Jessica and Jackie.
