This is a quiet conversation of the illustrator with the little lamb, the little goat, the little calf, the little donkey, the morning dove, the cedar tree, and the little stone. They are figuring out who was born this special day. Finally, they found out it was the child. This picture book is rendered in acrylic on paper. It shows us the beautiful story of Jesus Christ's birth. During that time, the animals and the angels gather and witness the birth of the child chosen. The language is simple and rhyme. With the beautiful pictures, it seems that we heard the animals were whispering and talking about the child born that special day. ( )
