About this title

Synopsis

On the hills near Bethlehem, young Ben loves helping his dad care for their sheep.
As they watch the stars, his dad tells stories of brave shepherds from long ago - especially a boy named David who became Israel's great shepherd-king.
One night the sky lights up with news of a new King, born that night just around the corner!

Told in gentle, rhyming verse, When Ben met the Baby King beautifully connects David's story to the night Jesus was born - the promised Shepherd-King who came to find and rescue God's lost sheep.

Filled with warmth, wonder, and faith, this lyrical picture book invites families to discover the heart of the Christmas story.

Perfect for bedtime reading, Sunday school, or a meaningful Christmas gift, When Ben met the Baby King helps children see how God's promises - and His love - came true in Bethlehem.

A storyteller, traveller, and grandfather, David Ritchie shares page-turners that make you chuckle, reflect, and imagine.David was born in Harare, Zimbabwe and moved to Sydney, NSW, with his family when he was ten.A former teacher, pastor, and carpenter, he has lived and worked in Australia and Kenya - teaching physics in Nairobi, climbing Mt Kenya three times, and collecting stories from every chapter of his life.Now semi-retired in Newcastle, Australia, David writes for readers of all ages. His work ranges from rhyming ballads that weave humour and faith to imaginative fiction for children and adults. He draws inspiration from a lifetime of adventure, travel, and teaching, as well as from his wife, Margy, their four children, and eight grandchildren. They know that Pa always has another story to tell.When he's not writing, David can usually be found with a good book in hand or tending four chickens and his vegetable garden-the perfect place, he says, to dream up his next story.
