BETHLEHEM: With Words from the King James Bible

With her intricate color-blocked designs, French (Snow White in New York) re-creates scenes from the Nativity story in the style of medieval stained-glass windows. She renders the Holy Family, shepherds, wise men and donkeys in radiant jewel tones of varying intensity, suggesting the mysterious qualities of real glass. Majestic and memorable, the art invites the eye to linger over its details. Ages 4-8. (Oct.)
