(4) K-3 Illustrated by Raul Colon. Matthew is a young shepherd who chases an errant lamb to a stable dug in a hillside. There he finds a young couple and a very special baby. The familiar Nativity story is lyrical and reverent in tone, but Colón's scratchboard illustrations are uneven: alternately warm and luminous and stiff and iconic. Also available in Spanish.
