The north wind blew.

The snowflakes flew.

And the mouseling sneezed,

"Ah-choo! Ah-choo!" On a cold December night, a baby mouse is born.The winter wind blows the tiny mouse nest apart, and Mother Mouse, with her shivering mouseling, sets out in search of a warm shelter. From the top of a hill, Mother Mouse sees a halo of light and follows it to a wooden shelter. Inside, a special child is born, and the Christmas Mouseling, nestled in the manger, is warm at last. Dori Chaconas' lyrical text joins with Susan Kathleen Hartung's tender illustrations to poignantly capture the wonder of the Nativity story.
