WHAT:

Three wise men have been traveling for weeks, following the brilliant star rising in the east. Everything is going smoothly… except for one problem: Balthazar cannot stay focused. He keeps wandering off to see tourist attractions, trying snacks in random towns, and stopping to pet every camel they pass.
His detours delay the group, frustrate his fellow wise men, and create a trail of hilarious chaos — but in the end, they all discover that God can guide everyone, even when the route is messy. When they finally stand before baby Jesus, laughter melts into awe.
