Abstract

"The younger sister of three shepherds secretly follows her brothers who are traveling to Bethlehem to see the Christ Child ... William H. Hooks's evocative retelling of this unusual Christmas legend transports readers back two thousand years to Bethlehem to follow nine-year-old Dorothy on her journey to see the Baby Jesus and to witness the miracle of a tiny white flower delicately transforming into the beautiful Christmas rose. Richard A. Williams's lush oil paintings evoke the beauty and joy of the first Christmas."--Publisher description.
