All for the Newborn Baby

Now that Thanksgiving is past, and the holidays are here, lets look for holiday stories. This is the first.
In the cold dark stable, Mary sings a lullaby to her newborn baby. She sings about the oxen and sheep who share the stable and keep the cold away. She sings about little fish splashing in the river, roses blooming in the snow, and the sun and moon sharing the sky together. Drawn from Christmas miracle tales from around the world, this cradle song by Phyllis Root, beautifully illustrated by Nicola Bayley is a lullaby for any newborn child.
