What the Shepherd Saw

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Maja Dusíková. An unfriendly shepherd encounters a man asking for coal for his wife and new baby. The man has no bucket, so the shepherd says, "Take as much as you need!" He's amazed when the man picks up and carries hot coals. This original Nativity story by the winner of the 1909 Nobel Prize for Literature takes some leaps in logic, but the illustrations infuse the scenes with magic and wonder.
