The Shepherd's Story by Jimmy Dunne is a familiar, beloved rhyme scheme paired with a fresh perspective on the Christmas story that provides readers with a profound experience alongside a courageous shepherd boy who is searching for meaning in life. Together with the shepherd, readers connect the birth of Christ with their own human experience, learning that one child---a single person---has the possibility of making an extraordinary difference in the world. In the loving arms of his parents, Jesus represents every newborn---and through the shepherd's eyes, parents and children alike recognize Jesus' promise of abundant life and infinite love.
