The Bat in the Manger Diane Packard

In this story I wanted to show this historic moment in time from an aerial point of view. I chose the tomb bat for he was the only bat that eats insects in Egypt. During this time, a brilliant star was in the sky. By the end of my tale, a new light takes over the world. This book is dedicated to all that believe is Christ's miraculous birth. This is my second published children's book. I could only guess at what it was like in Egypt over 2,000 years ago. My stories always involve a lesser known animal such as a bat to learn about their habits and values to humans.
