On the eve of the very first Christmas, an old grandmother is busy tidying her home when a bright star
illuminates the sky. Soon three wise men arrive and invite Babushka to join them in their travels-following
the star in search of a newborn babe, the Prince of Peace. But there are dishes to be washed, and floors to be
swept, and Babushka is too absorbed in her work to leave her home with presents for the baby Jesus.

The next day, when Babushka tries to follow the men, she cannot find their tracks. Instead, she finds a little
girl shivering in the cold, and a little boy, his tummy rumbling with hunger. Babushka walks and walks, and
everywhere she goes she finds children in need of toys to play with or a shawl to keep them warm. And to
each one, she offers a gift from her basket and a smile of light and love.

With beautiful illustrations evoking folk art traditions and sensitive storytelling, Babushka tenderly reminds us
that nothing is more important during the holiday season than taking the time to show love for one another.

This timeless Russian tale will warm your heart and fill you up with the joyful, generous spirit of Christmas.
