Fourteen poems present the thoughts of people involved in the Nativity, including reflections from Mary, the angel Gabriel, the innkeeper, and Herod.
Poet Nikki Grimes has created a unique view of the Nativity story with a series of thoughtful, moving verses told from different points of view. Accompanied by a Bible verse, several poems told from the eyes of Mary, the Wise Men, Joseph, and even Herod, are lyrically put to the page. With beautiful, shimmering illustrations.
