Mateo is a six-year-old boy who lived in the oasis where the Three Wise Men waited for the star that was to guide them on the last stage of their journey to Bethlehem. Over seven days, to pass the time, each of the Wise Men told his story. Mateo never forgot their stories and never stopped telling the travelers who stopped at the oasis the marvelous events of those seven days of the Year of the Star. Large full-color illustrations bring the fantastic events of the Wise Men's stories to life.
