The Newborn Child

Jackie Morris

From Shelf: The beautiful books of Jackie Morris

A story of first motherhood and love for a newborn child who will change the world forever

"He was born while the full moon travelled

across the heavens and the waiting world turned.

She held him close, his skin warm against hers,

in the circle of her mother's love, safe."

A beautiful and lyrical Nativity story, focusing on the thoughts, hopes and fears of a young mother-to-be, about to give birth in a strange land.
