Angela and the Baby Jesus

Description

This wonderful Christmas story is based on an incident from the childhood of Frank McCourt’s mother, Angela. When six-year-old Angela sees the Baby Jesus in the Christmas crib at the church near her house, she feels very sorry for him. He looks happy enough but she wonders why he has no blanket to keep him warm. So Angela decides to take the Baby home with her, when no one is looking, and make him more comfortable. But hiding the Baby Jesus isn’t easy. How long can Angela keep her big secret?

Highly captivating, a true story about the author’s mother.

Six year old Angela feels sorry for the Baby Jesus in the Church, he looks cold, she decided to take him home to warm in her bed. We followed her in tenterhooks, gasping for the safety of the Child Jesus in the hands of a six year old, one particular scene in her neighbour’s yard is highly amusing!!

Very Irish, captivating to all ages, illustrations appealing.
