Once Upon A Silent Night

Once upon a silent night, a stable stood. A star shone bright.

It is midnight on Christmas Eve, and a child is about to be born in a stable. How can the creatures help?

First, the cow offers up his manger, and the donkey gives his hay. The doves will sing the babe to sleep, the trees will watch over him, and the moon will fill his dreams with silver light. It's a moment of magic, as a little child enters the world and brings with him the most precious gift of all: love.

A beautiful and timeless retelling of the nativity story, with a lyrical rhyming text and luminous illustrations, Once Upon A Silent Night is the perfect Christmas gift.
