AlbakiReads Editorial

A Christmas story of welcome

Set in a stable beside an inn, the tale builds through a chain of arrivals: Kind Ox welcomes Old Dog, who makes space for Stray Cat, then Small Mouse. The repeated invitation, “There’s always room for a little one here,” becomes the story’s organizing idea. When Tired Donkey arrives carrying Mary and Joseph, that welcome extends to the birth of Jesus. The animal-centered retelling connects the Nativity with a simple picture-book theme of hospitality and making room for others. This edition is described as a reduced-size padded board book, with a format suited to small hands.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Young children sharing a Christmas or Nativity story with an adult
  • Families seeking a picture-book introduction to the Nativity
  • Readers interested in stories about welcome and sharing

Book overview

This favorite Christmas picture book is now available in a reduced size padded board book perfect for little hands with bright red foil on the cover to share the holiday cheer!

In the stable next to an inn, Kind Ox is just settling in for the night when Old Dog comes into the stable. Kind Ox makes room for Old Dog, who in turn makes room for Stray Cat, who then makes room for Small Mouse--and each time, the larger animal says to the small, "There's always room for a little one here." Finally, Tired Donkey comes by, carrying Joseph and Mary, who asks "Where will my child be born?" Kind Ox replies, "There is always room for a little one here." And so, Jesus is born in the stable with the animals all around Him.
