Shh... Baby Jesus Is Sleeping

The author of the bestselling God Gave Us series invites children to snuggle in close and peek into the stable where the animals are celebrating the very first Christmas.

"All be quiet...settle down. Shh, shh, shh. Baby Jesus is sleeping." So begins this sweet bedtime story in which all the animals in the nativity scene call their little ones to snuggle in close and rest quietly as they honor the arrival of a precious Baby--the Savior of all living things--that first Christmas night.

Not a peep, Little Sheep. Baby Jesus is sleeping!
Lie down now, Little Cow. Baby Jesus is sleeping!...
We rest tonight, knowing he is near.
Our promised King is finally here!
