What's This Book About

Publisher Summary

A procession travels to Bethlehem, bringing gifts for the newborn baby Jesus. The little drummer boy comes along, although he is too poor to bring a present fit for a king. Instead, he plays a song on his drum for the Christ Child. Within the little drummer boy’s seemingly simple gift lies the true spirit of Christmas. Ezra Jack Keats’ vivid, jewel-toned artwork perfectly illustrates this classic holiday carol. Music for the song appears at the back of the book. “Keats evocatively portrays this story.” -Publishers Weekly
