Publisher's Description

▼▲

The world-famous Christmas carol, retold and illustrated by the legendary European artist Bernadette Watts.

A poor boy owns nothing but his precious drum, which he humbly plays for the people of his town. But when news comes of a newborn king, shepherds, strangers, and even common townsfolk travel from far and wide to honor him. The little boy hesitates to visit, convinced he has nothing with which to honor the child… Until the sounds of his drumming fill the winter night with wonder and happiness. Bernadette’s atmospheric illustrations depict this Christmas story with a charm that is second to none.
