Hopkins, Lee Bennett

Mary's Song

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Stephen Alcorn. In the manger on the first Christmas night, Mary describes the quiet she craves as she cradles her newborn baby and wonders "what will become of him." Alcorn includes classic Nativity elements in his muted, soft mixed-media illustrations. Hopkins's lyrical text lacks focus and presents an adult longing that is unlikely to speak to young children.
