Wanting More: A Different Kind of Christmas Tale

By Amarilys Gacio Rassler

A heartwarming faith-based Christmas story for children, full of wonder, courage, and purpose.

Basil is a young mouse living in a humble stable, where baby Jesus has just been born. He cares deeply for his wise grandfather, Saba Sage, a temple mouse who understands human speech and speaks with God. Basil longs to have a strong faith like his grandfather and dreams of one day hearing from God himself.

When Saba Sage reveals that the newborn child is the long-awaited Messiah, Basil's journey begins. Saba tells Basil he must leave with the shepherds and follow the baby wherever He goes. If Basil sees his grandfather one last time before he departs, he will receive the same special gifts: the ability to understand people and to hear God's voice.

Just as Basil's new adventure begins, danger strikes. An owl swoops into the stable, but a brave red mouse named Minty saves him. Together, they discover love, courage, and a shared mission: to follow the baby Jesus and raise a family that will serve God.

Told through the eyes of animals, this Christian Christmas children's book is perfect for kids who love talking animals, nativity stories, and spiritual adventures. With a touching message about faith, love, and God's purpose, Basil and the Baby King is ideal for holiday read-alouds, Christian families, and faith-based gift giving.

Wanting More, A Different Kind of Christmas Tale is a beautiful reminder that even the smallest among us can be part of God's greatest story.
