When Nat's Sunday school class puts on a Christmas play, Nat wants the lead role of Mary. So when her archrival Sasha gets the good part and Nat gets the role of a tree, our heroine has to struggle with disappointment, jealousy, and selfish ambition, until she experiences the true meaning of God's sending his Son to us (even though he only had just the one).

Natalie has big five-year-old dreams for her future. So big, that her heart gets thumpy with excitement. Nat uses her very own words to tell about her hopes, struggles, and adventures. This makes the That's Nat! series perfect for young readers just ready for chapter books. Is There Something Better than Being a Star? Natalie tries out for the lead part in the Sunday school play. But not-so-nice Sasha lands the part instead. Being the star is all Natalie can think about---until something more important catches her heart.

Dandi Daley Mackall is the author of over 400 books and still can't believe she gets to write for a living, helping children of all ages grow spiritually. She and her husband, Joe, both write from rural Ohio, where they're blessed with three children and a variety of horses, dogs, and cats.
