FROM SARAH:

A traditional Russian tale, retold. Read this one and compare it to The Legend of Old Befana by Tomie dePaola to talk about what's similar and what's different.

FROM THE PUBLISHER:
On the eve of the very first Christmas, an old grandmother is busy tidying her home when a bright star illuminates the sky. Soon three wise men arrive and invite Babushka to join them in their travels—following the star in search of a newborn babe, the Prince of Peace.

FROM SARAH:

Especially good for your youngest readers. I very much love Genevieve's sweet, warm illustrations in this short, readable fall story.

FROM THE PUBLISHER:

In this simple rhyming story from the author of Held in Love, a child says thank you for the gifts nature provides, from hazelnuts in the hedge to apples from the tree, eggs from the hens to milk from the cow. Eventually, the family has enough ingredients to make something special… a delicious apple cake!
