In writing a nativity story from the point of view of a boy who lives in the stable, Shirley Taylor has given us a vivid account of Christ's birth and a motivating experience to readers and hearers, alike. Likely to become an 'instant classic' of Christian literature, this simple story will inspire thousands of retellings by pastors, Christian educators, parents and grandparents.Shirley Taylor's story gives readers and hearers insight into the town of Bethlehem at the time of the birth of Christ. Wendell Hall's illustrations help us imagine that scene wonderfully. The young homeless boy touches our hearts and imaginations. Not just for children, this is a read aloud book for all ages."e; - Lauretta Phillips, Storyteller, Author, Radio & TV Host
