Home for Christmas - Sally Grindley

A homeless child has made a shelter for himself in a cattle shed. One day, while he is at work in the market, a man arrives in the village with his wife, riding on a donkey. On his way home, the boy wonders what it would be like to feel the warmth and love of a family, and during the night, he is awakened by a bright new light and the sound of a baby crying. Vibrant watercolors illustrate this powerful retelling of the Nativity story. Sally Grindley's lyrical exploration of the traditional holiday themes of home and belonging and Karin Littlewood's striking images make this a very special Christmas book.
