Jesus Was a Refugee (Lost Sheep Series)

We love the joy of Christmas — the angels, the shepherds, the baby in the manger. But there’s also a part of the story that’s often forgotten. When King Herod’s anger threatened their newborn son, Mary and Joseph fled to Egypt to keep Him safe. Jesus Was a Refugee invites families to remember this powerful truth: our Saviour knows what it means to be displaced, afraid, and far from home.

Why we love it:
This story helps children see the whole picture of Jesus’ early life — not just the celebration, but the courage, faith, and protection of God in the midst of hardship. It’s a gentle way to start conversations about compassion, empathy, and caring for others in need.

Features:

• Based on the biblical account in Matthew 2:13–15
• Part of the Lost Sheep Series
• Sensitive, age-appropriate storytelling for children
• Bright, expressive illustrations that open up deeper discussion
• Encourages empathy, understanding, and faith in God’s care

Who it’s for:
Ideal for families, children aged 4–8, and church groups who want to help little ones see that Jesus understands every part of the human story — even fear and uncertainty. A moving addition to your Christmas or all-year reading list.
