Bookroo's summary
In a snowy forest, a woodpecker's call summons animals to a barn for a special birth. Each brings a gift: hay, song, wool. But a timid fox believes he has nothing to offer. As the animals gather, the fox learns that the most meaningful gifts come from the heart. Discover how this shy creature finds his place in this heartwarming twist on the Nativity story, celebrating the true spirit of Christmas.
From the publisher
Give the gift of Christmas with this beautiful holiday tale that celebrates the true meaning of the season. “Come!” drummed a woodpecker one cold, wintry day. “A baby is coming. There’s work to be done!” One by one, from field and forest, the animals make their way to a barn. The cow has sweet-smelling hay to offer the baby. The bluebird has the gift of song. And a lamb has soft, cozy wool. But the shy little fox has nothing to offer . . . or so he thinks. With its gentle text and warm, expressive illustrations, this irresistible take on the Nativity story invites even the youngest child to discover the truest gifts of the Christmas season: the ones that come from the heart.
