Do you really need a savior? Not when you have lots of reading scrolls and a colossal hat to prove how smart you are! Or so decides one Wise Man who skips the journey to greet the newborn Savior he doesn't need. Even the excitement of his fellow Wise Men upon their return isn't enough to convince him.

But years later, when he heads to Jerusalem to replace his precious pillow, he discovers that being smart isn't the same as being wise. With bouncy rhyme and a furry orange friend to find in each picture, The Big Hat Wise Man shows children that the greatest wisdom of all is recognizing your need for a savior.
