(4) PS Illustrated by Floyd Cooper. "Come, wisemen, to worship / O come to the barn / The sweetest of babies / Is here safe and warm." Published here for the first time, the brief text celebrating the ancient miracle of the birth of Christ is gently rhythmic, though not entirely well rhymed. What makes the book of interest is the art: oil paintings of a multicultural cast of angels, shepherds, and wise men paying homage to a brown Baby Jesus.
