Troy Posted December 12, 2014 Report Share Posted December 12, 2014 Harry that was an excellent book suggestion! There are always gems in your posts. I was not familiar with this one but it looks good. Carol of the Brown King: Nativity Poems by Langston Hughes, illustrated by Ashley Bryan (Atheneum Books for Young Readers, October 1, 1998) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
