PS
Animals try to persuade a little fox to visit a newborn baby in a stable, but the fox doesn't have a gift and would rather play. Finally, a donkey convinces the fox that its presence is gift enough. Loosely painted, carefully rendered characters are placed within a snowy landscape. This homey take on the Nativity story delivers a warm tale of love and humility.
