A few words, hand-lettered. Emphasis on the Divinity of baby Jesus and His care for all creatures.

A very simple story with a nagging sense of deeper meaning behind it.

This is my favorite Christmas story! Jesus came to us as a helpless baby in a humble stable even though He is the King of Kings. This story emphasized this theme. You will be blessed when you read this book!

A poor cow arrives late to the barn and is locked outside in the cold. The other animals hear her and feel bad for poor Gabriella. The sweet baby Jesus also hears the cow and wants to help...but can this newborn babe help the cow? A sweet, simple story. The illustrations were in a style that is not a favorite for me. Or perhaps I should say that I love the illustrations of the animals but am less fond of the illustrations of Mary, Joseph and Jesus.
