Enjoy the interview!
Tori, thanks so much for letting me join you today to tell you a little bit more about my new Christian children’s book, Cairo’s Christmas Journey. Today, I have brought the main character of the story along to help tell you about his story. Everybody, I would like to introduce you to my friend, Cairo the Cricket.
Cairo: Greetings!
Janet: So, Cairo, I am sure everyone is excited to hear about the “journey” of yours.
Cairo: It was quite a night. I didn’t think I would ever make it. You see, I play lullabies to help the shepherds put their sheep to sleep for the night. I was playing my songs, and the sheep were almost sound asleep when the most amazing flash of light appeared, and along with it, a bunch of angels.
Janet: Oh, my! That sounds incredible.
Cairo: It was. And when one of the angels asked me to go to Bethlehem to play a song for the newborn king, I just couldn’t believe it. You see, Bethlehem was far away from our pasture. I knew I couldn’t make the journey on my own.
Janet: So, what did you do?
Cairo: The angel told me that God would help me get there. So, I just started hopping. But it was an even harder journey than I thought it would be.
Janet: Is that right?
Cairo: I didn’t think I would ever make it. I found myself in so many sticky situations. But do you know what? The angel was right.
Janet: How’s that?
Cairo: The angel told me that God would send me the help I needed, and that is just what God did. And do you know what?
Janet: What?
Cairo: I made it all the way to Bethlehem that night.
Janet: So you got to play your song for the Messiah after all?
Cairo: I did. Before long he was fast asleep.
Janet: That is just amazing.
Cairo: I will never forget that night. I learned a very important lesson.
Janet: And what was that?
Cairo: That God is there to help us on our toughest journeys. I have remembered that ever since that night.
Janet: That is indeed an important lesson.
