The Third Gift by Linda Sue Park illustrated by Bagram Ibatoulline*

Ever wonder what myrrh was and how it was "produced"?  Ms. Park wondered that too as a child and has written a fictional book about a boy and his father going into the desert to find specific trees that will "weep" out tears.
*Highly recommend.
Beautiful illustrations.
The reader has to infer who the three men are who purchase the biggest tear of myrrh.
Ms. Park has written a few pages about the wise men and myrrh for more interesting reading.
