It's not until Little Raccoon gets help from an unexpected friend that she discovers the meaning of Jesus' birthday. Full color.
"Young children will easily relate to Little Raccoon's feelings of loneliness and lack of belonging. The welcoming circle of animals underscores the clearly spelled out Christmas message of love, friendship, and inclusion. This sequel to
