Critics Review
PRAISE FOR THE CHRISTMAS FOX“In this understated, beautifully illustrated Nativity story, a little fox is invited to come along on a journey because a baby will be arriving soon. Glowing watercolor illustrations in a loose, expressive style capture the antics of the fox and create an exciting environment of starry skies, snowy fields, and a light-filled stable. A lovely, gentle, and open-ended introduction to the story of the birth of baby Jesus” –Kirkus Reviews“McGrory transplants the Nativity story to a snowy woodland setting… . McGrory’s soft, gestural artwork, washed with pale color and infused with lemony light, celebrate the fox’s play, and his joyful spirit is a gift both to the waiting child and to readers.” –Publishers Weekly“This homey take on the Nativity story delivers a warm tale of love and humility for theholidays.” –The Horn Book
