(3) K-3 Translated by Sibylle Kazeroid. Illustrated by Alessandra Roberti. The miracle of the Nativity is seen through the eyes of Miriam, an innkeeper's daughter in Bethlehem. Desperate to be bigger and do more important things, Miriam finally gets her chance when she gives her blanket to the newborn baby in the stable. Roberti's illustrations lend a soft, heavenly aura to the quiet Christmas tale, whose child perspective never wavers.
