Angela and the Baby Jesus

by Frank McCourt
Illustrated by Raul Colon


From the noted Irish American writer, Frank McCourt, comes this endearing tale from his mother's childhood. It's a cold Christmas season, and six year-old Angela is worried about Baby Jesus in the center of her church's nativity scene. She manages to kidnap him so she can put him in her own bed to keep him warm during the night. At times hilarious (she throws him over a wall as she tries to sneak him home) and touching (the priest and police's response), this unique tale with surely warm your own heart. 


Ages 5-10
