PICTURE BOOKS
Lloyd-Jones, Sally

Little One, We Knew You'd Come

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Jackie Morris. Lloyd-Jones's lyrical text describes the joy of new parents: "People were sleeping. We didn't care. / Good news, we sang, our baby is here!" The text, by itself, celebrates the birth of any baby, but Morris's lush, painterly illustrations make this a specific song in praise of Jesus's arrival. It's an unremarkable, albeit attractive, addition to the Nativity picture-book genre.
