"The story of the nativity, retold by the animals that witnessed that first Christmas Eve"
Appealing to all, this timeless retelling of the nativity story focuses on the role the animals, the trees, the stones and chalk and clay, and the stars and the moon all played in the story of the baby born in a stable because there was no room in the inn.
The simple text and atmospheric illustrations perfectly the mood of a wintery night during which something very special happened.

Once upon a silent night,
a stable stood.
A star shone bright.
It is midnight on Christmas Eve, and a child is about to be born in a stable. How can the creatures help?
First, the cow offers up his manger, and the donkey gives his hay. The doves will sing the babe to sleep, the trees will watch over him, and the moon will fill his dreams with silver light. It's a moment of magic, as a little child enters the world and brings with him the most precious gift of all: love.
A beautiful and timeless retelling of the nativity story, with a lyrical rhyming text and luminous illustrations, this book is the perfect Christmas gift.
