A Cold Night: A Christmas Fable

24 pp. | Sparkhouse | October, 2017 | Trade ISBN 978-1-5064-2496-5 $14.99
(4) K-3 A group of animals gathered in a warm stable on a snowy night welcome in a man and pregnant woman. When she gives birth to a baby boy, a "star appeared above the stable." The swirling pictures are abstractly rendered in a snowy palette, and young readers may struggle to interpret them. Still, this Italian import offers a subdued version of the Christmas story.
