Illustrated by
Delana Bettoli.
Cotten's rhyming couplets recount the Nativity story in quiet, cumulative verse that matches the tender mood of Bettoli's jewel-toned illustrations. The softly glowing paintings include details that are the book's real highlight. The hushed tone of both art and text make this an appropriate choice for lulling toddlers to sleep on Christmas Eve.
