The Birds of Bethlehem

(2) K-3 Peaceably sharing the gleanings of the autumn harvest, a dozen birds discuss the news. The blue pair has seen a couple being led to the stables; the red birds have seen an angel in the sky; the brown ones have heard the heavenly host; etc. The acrylic paintings of the birds and Holy Family (its members left unidentified) are theatrically composed on spacious spreads.
