Elegant, simple text and luminous art make this an almost hymn-like meditation on the meaning of Christmas and the Nativity story. See this small gray donkey, this long, dusty road, this promising star. See this man, Joseph, this woman, Mary. Feel the frost on this clear Bethlehem night. The Nativity story comes to life for readers of all ages in this luminous celebration of the miracle of Christmas.
