Overview

The only light in the stable came from the wick of a simple bowl of oil. Its flame danced in the eyes of the donkeys, oxen, and a plough horse. The animals watched, ears tilted towards the man and woman in their midst. For the woman was giving birth to a child, and all animals understand the wonder of that.

The story of Jesus' birth written in lyrical prose and brought to life in light-catching, shimmering illustrations. Each page has the appearance of being a stained-glass window. When held to the light, the rich colors brighten and radiate color and warmth. The artwork truly captures the magic and majesty of the occasion it celebrates. This unique version of the nativity story is one parents and children will share year after year as it becomes a traditional part of each family's Christmas holiday.
