About the book

With music at the very heart of Christmas, this full-color volume presents five spirituals that tell the story of the Nativity. Ashley Bryan's luminous illustrations depict an exquisite cast of human, animal, and heavenly creatures. Simple arrangements for singing, piano and guitar, and a useful note for teachers, parents and instrumentalists, are also included in this book.
