Product Description
Review
'A festive Russian folktale about Babushka's journey to Bethlehem to meet a very special baby. Along the way, she gives away all of her gifts, arriving at the stable empty handed. She learns the most important lesson of all, that the more you give away in love, the more you receive. This heart-warming tale has super colourful and quirky illustrations.' --Family Interest Magazine
'There is not a speck of dust in Babushka's sparkling clean house. She is so worried about dirt that she can't see the wondrous things happening around her. Then she dreams of a baby born in a dirty stable and sets off with some presents for him but she gives them all away to other people in need on the way. This is a lovely update of an old story, with great illustrations, that contains a valuable message about love.' --BBC Parenting Magazine
'Illustrated beautifully, this fable offers an alternative to the traditional Christmas story, and is an interesting way to introduce the children to international perspectives on the festive season. The children should hopefully learn as much along the way as Babushka!' --Five to Eleven

Product Description
Babushka lives on her own in a cottage where everything is as neat as a pin. But she is so busy cleaning and polishing that she hardly notices the miraculous events going on around her. Then a mysterious dream leads her to put aside her daily worries and venture out to find a special baby. On her journey, she learns that the more you give away in love, the more you will receive. Readers of all ages and beliefs will be charmed and captivated by this poignant Russian folk tale. Children young and old will adore Sophie Fatus's beautiful folk-art illustrations of flowy ethereal angels, friendly wide-eyed characters wearing warm colourful shawls and quirky animals along Babushka's path.

My daughter did this as her school Christmas play, so we bought one for her (she was Mary) and one for the class. Beautiful illustrations; very appealing book.
