Bartholomew is a very small mouse who is used to being completely ignored by the larger animals in his world. On one quiet, snowy night, his ordinary life is interrupted when a beautiful angel appears right at his door. The glowing visitor brings a special invitation for Bartholomew to travel to Bethlehem and be blessed by a newborn prince. The tiny mouse can hardly believe his ears. He feels far too small and unimportant to be worthy of such a massive honor from a real king. Determined to show his respect, Bartholomew begins a frantic search to find the absolute perfect gift to bring to the manger. Along the way, he joins a gentle fox, and the two travel together through the cold night. When Bartholomew finally reaches the baby, he discovers that true value has nothing to do with size. He learns a beautiful truth about himself while standing in the warm, welcoming light of a very special baby's smile.
