Christina's Carol by dePaola, Tomie

Based on the 1872 Christmas carol "In the Bleak Midwinter" by English poet Christina Rosetti, this stunning, wintry picture book from acclaimed author-illustrator Tomie dePaola will be cherished all through the holiday season.

One chilly winter's night, the wind howled over a blanket of snow while in a humble stable, Jesus Christ was born. Angels, shepherds, wise men, and farm animals all gather to share in the still and holy night.
