Illustrated by Elaine Mills
Primrose Lockwood's beautifully subtle and tantalising text seems to capture the mood of this special cold winter's night. The pace of the verse builds as image after image is added until the joyful climax is created and we share in Joseph's glorious moment. The illustrations by Elaine Mills complement and extend the mood of anticipation for, with skilful use of light and dark and glowing colours, she evokes warm and comfortable feelings of happy childhood excitement.
