Book Overview
This holiday Baboushka tale blends the Nativity with the tradition of Christmas gift giving. Everyone in the village is bubbling with excitement about the new star in the sky-everyone except old Baboushka, who is busy sweeping, scouring, and polishing her house. Then three strangers arrive. When Baboushka invites them to stay the night, they ask her to join their search for a new baby-an infant king. But Baboushka is too busy with her chores. When at last she follows, bearing gifts for the baby, the newborn king is gone. Some say Baboushka continues her search to this very day, and at Christmas-whenever she sees a sleeping child or hears of good deeds-she will lift a toy from her basket and leave it.
