The best gift of all

On the night before Christmas 
A child in a house,
As the whole family slept,
Behaved just like a mouse.

This is a book I have only recently found, and that thanks to emhowl, who brought it to my attention. An updated version of an old poem, written by Carol Ann  Duffy and illustrated by Rob Ryan, this is a tiny book with words and pictures to ponder over. I bought one and loved it so much, I bought one for each of the grandchildren. 

Another Night Before Christmas: Carol Ann  Duffy

And the best gift of all? Belief.
