Illustrated by
Lily Moon.
When a woodcarver from Lapland sees a brilliant star, he follows it to Bethlehem, where he finds the Christ Child. There, a strange miracle occurs; his clothing changes from blue to Santa Claus red. Moved by this encounter, he returns home and carves toys for children. Moon's richly colored, stylized illustrations enhance the folktale-like quality of the story, but the combination of the religious and the secular traditions is jarring.
