(2) K-3 Illustrated by Steve Johnson & Lou Fancher. This narrative poem relates the Nativity through its sounds: the flip, flap, flap of Joseph's sandals; the flut-flut-flutter of descending angels. Mackall's carefully constructed verse emphasizes that while the first Christmas may not have been a "silent night," it was a "miraculous" one. Peaceful illustrations eloquently capture the range of emotions from Mary's weariness to the joy of Jesus' birth.
