When his master--eager to be rid of him--sells the beast to Mary, her new companion is suddenly as docile as a lamb. Joseph's staff, found in the corner of his workshop, is made of a kind of wood that no one can identify, and it has amazing qualities, as Joseph will find out. A little boy cleans and recleans his father's stable one week, knowing it just isn't clean enough, though he doesn't yet know why.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSimple things accompany the birth of Jesus--a donkey carries Mary, a staff supports old Joseph, a stable, and straw, and a manger offer a place in which to lay the Jesus child. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLively stories of the Nativity conclude with a more contemporary tale, creating the atmosphere we all seek at Christmas. Each of these imaginative stories--intended to be read aloud--presents a simple element of the Nativity as their central theme. They are presented here with fresh watercolors by Bethan Welby, herself a former pupil of the school in England where these stories were told as part of a longstanding storytelling tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alan Howard\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0946206899\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780946206896\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wynstones Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/04\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 80\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 6.50w x 0.60d","brand":"Alan Howard","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43996518318335,"sku":"9780946206896","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4efba42c-befa-4bbd-ad07-55a81dd2916b.jpg?v=1683342148","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/nativity-stories-alan-howard-9780946206896","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
