Cock-a-Doodle Christmas

(4) K-3 Jesus's birth inspires insecure rooster Harold (a play on herald) to find his inner cock-a-doodle-doo and proclaim Christ's "hope for a new day." The book's pacing is odd; it doesn't show itself as a Nativity story until nearly the end. Jewel-tone hues for Harold, the sun, and the star of Bethlehem announce themselves against softer background browns, greens, and blues.
