Illustrated by
Helen Cann.
In this quiet retelling, young Brigid of Ireland is mysteriously transported to Bethlehem and uses her cloak to warm Mary. When Brigid finds herself back home, the cloak is emblazoned with glowing stars. Handsome mixed-media illustrations feature borders with Irish and Middle Eastern motifs. Although source notes are lacking, a historical note explains more about St. Brigid.
