"The King doesn't care about little ones like us." Itsy and Bitsy are just about to give up when something amazing happens. Crafted by master storyteller Max Lucado, Itsy Bitsy Chris

Our Review

This Christmas story offers a gentle reminder that everyone matters, no matter their size, through the journey of two small mice determined to find the newborn King. When Itsy and Bitsy hear about the special baby in Bethlehem, they face discouragement from other animals who insist they're too insignificant for a king's attention. Max Lucado's storytelling creates a heartfelt holiday narrative that explores themes of perseverance and self-worth during the Christmas season, making complex spiritual concepts accessible to young readers through simple animal characters.

What makes this holiday book particularly effective is how it validates the very real feelings of smallness that children often experience, while showing that determination and faith can lead to wonderful discoveries. The Christmas story's message that God cares for even the smallest creatures arrives with perfect timing for families seeking meaningful holiday reading that reinforces core values. Young readers will connect deeply with these tiny heroes who learn that size doesn't determine your importance, especially when it comes to receiving love. This touching tale leaves children with the empowering understanding that they too are worthy of attention and care.
