That Baby in the Manger Neuberger, Anne E

That Baby in the Manger is a story about inclusion, the beauty of diversity and the understanding that the Christ Child came for each child no matter how they look. The story is about a multi-racial parish where the figures of the Nativity scene have been set up except for the baby. When the children ask about the absence of the baby the priest tells them that it is not time yet for the baby to be there. One of the children remembers the baby has blond curls and asks why the baby doesn't look like many of the children in the parish. The story goes on to tell how the priest and a parishioner named Mr. Gonzalez work in different ways to help the children recognize the love that Jesus has for each and every one of them. Fun, colorful illustrations by Chloe E. Pitkoff add interest and help bring the story to life.

That Baby in the Manger is a beautiful story to have in your home to read to children or grandchildren during the holiday season. It is also a book religious education teachers or school teachers may be interested in using to start discussions about race, diversity, inclusiveness and faith in their classes. That Baby in the Manger is a paperback book with 32 pages.
