Throughout these eight delightful tales we encounter the Babe born not only in Bethlehem but in the midst of our lives. Whether it’s the classic tale of The Mistletoe Girl, the clever, creative Cat’s Christmas or the humorous, engaging Attic Crèche, these stories reveal how such encounters hold the power to transform our lives. They illustrate a pattern that can change our hearts, our way of life, and how we relate to others. Intended for readers of all ages, Pochocki’s stories quicken within us the spirit of the season as they put us in touch with the Child and the child within.
