“I love this sweet story to preface the birth of Jesus. The animals creating a safe-house that is welcoming, including, and loving really captures the spirit of Christmas for me! I love the glittery effect of the illustrations, too.”

“This is a gorgeously illustrated, animal-centric take of the night baby Jesus was born, full of the Christian message that all are welcome, particularly little ones.”
