One starry night, a cow watches over her calf, a nanny goat watches over
her kid, and a pig watches over her piglet. For this one moment, every
family in the animal kingdom is peaceful, just like Mary and Joseph
watching over their own newborn nearby.
This simple yet profound book perfectly captures the universal nighttime
vigil of parents everywhere while gently alluding to the presence of a
nurturing creator who watches over all. Lauren Thompson is at her
lyrical best, while Jonathan Bean's gorgeous, artisanal illustrations
are the perfect match for this beautifully serene story of a truly
Peaceable Kingdom.
