Illustrated by
Jonathan Bean.
"One starry night / a sheep watched over her lamb / I am here." Thompson's poetic, reverent text tells of the night Jesus was born. Bean's digitally colored pencil illustrations portray the calm nighttime scenes. The gentle words are beautifully matched by the strikingly composed art; both are infused with meaning and are powerful in their simplicity.
