To Hear the Angels Sing: A Christmas Poem

(3) PS Illustrated by Jill Weber. The repetition-heavy verses of this Nativity story-song ("Behold the joy of Bethlehem, / Bethlehem, Bethlehem. / Behold the joy of Bethlehem / on this first Christmas morn") have tight, musical rhythms and will make for uplifting holiday reading. The meticulously detailed acrylic and watercolor paintings feature a smiling Christ child and beaming animals, but they in no way trivialize the event.
