A tender take on the nativity story, told entirely from a fox's point of view, that embodies the joy of the season.

Give the gift of Christmas with this beautiful holiday tale that celebrates the true meaning of the season.

"Come!" drummed a woodpecker one cold, wintry day. "A baby is coming. There's work to be done!"

One by one, from field and forest, the animals make their way to a barn. The cow has sweet-smelling hay to offer the baby. The bluebird has the gift of song. And a lamb has soft, cozy wool. But the shy little fox has nothing to offer . . . or so he thinks.

With its gentle text and warm, expressive illustrations, this irresistible take on the Nativity story invites even the youngest child to discover the truest gifts of the Christmas season: the ones that come from the heart.

Praise for The Christmas Fox

Praise for Kidigo:

"The poetic text is perfectly matched with pencil-and-watercolor illustrations that depict a warm and lovely home in a land where Kidogo '...slept through nights that were deeper than his dreams.' This sweet, enchanting story is just right." - SLJ, starred

"A charming tale celebrating the unique position of all things." - Kirkus Reviews

Praise for Animals Sleep:

"Softly colored, detailed watercolor paintings enhance the text, bringing the animal and its habitat to life for the reader." - Kirkus Reviews

"Soft pastel backgrounds cradle brighter hues, bringing into focus each animal as it takes a nap, hibernates, or sleeps." - SLJ
