Berry, Julie

Long Ago, on a Silent Night

(2) PS Illustrated by Annie Won. In Berry's soothing, lullaby-like rhyming text, a modern-day mother compares the details of the Nativity story to the relationship she has with her own baby. Won's lush, vibrant, evocative illustrations alternate between the two parallel (and perhaps overlapping) narratives, highlighting a loving cast of characters, both past and present, with a variety of skin tones. This timeless story is full of tender sentiment.
