The Little Drummer Boy

Description

This classic Christmas story about a shy boy who plays his trusted drum for the newborn king will charm children and parents alike. A brand new story from Bernadette Watts, never before published.

Bernadette Watts, known throughout Europe simply as Bernadette, has illustrated many dozens of folk- and fairy tales. Born in England, she loved to draw from childhood. She studied at the Maidstone Art School in Kent, UK, for a time under the tutelage of Brian Wildsmith. Bernadette's many beautiful books include The Snow Queen and The Bremen Town Musicians. Bernadette finds her inspiration in nature. Today she lives and works in Kent. She has been illustrating for NorthSouth Books and NordSud Verlag since the beginning of her career fifty years ago.

For families interested in revisiting a favorite Christmas theme.-- "Kirkus Reviews" The beautiful illustrations are filled with detail and seem to be lit from above by the star. A lovely retelling of the classic song.--Katrina Yurenka "Youth Services Book Review"
