On a frosty Christmas Eve, Room for a Little One: A Christmas Tale warmly illustrates inclusion and kindness through a series of heartfelt welcomes. As an ox invites a dog, cat, mouse, donkey, and finally Mary, Joseph, and baby Jesus into his stable, children learn about generosity, empathy, and community. With lush acrylic paintings and simple, rhythmic text, this 32-page picture book captivates ages 48 while supporting early literacy, emotional development, and moral understanding. It teaches sequencing skills, vocabulary building, and perspective-taking through nature and narrative. A timeless holiday classic that nurtures heart and mind.
