Soft, misty artwork creates a quiet, contemplative mood for this Nativity book. The text asks one baby animal after another--as well as a cedar tree and a stone--whether it was born on this day, and each answer is no. At the end of the book, all of the animals gather around a manger, which holds the newborn child. This tranquil Christmas story is a good read for snowy winter days.
