BOOK REVIEW: NATIONAL DAY OF GIVING

​Today’s recommendation is all about giving – giving shelter to those in need:

​TITLE: JUST ENOUGH ROOM FOR CHRISTMAS
AUTHOR: Robin Currie
ILLUSTRATOR: Estelle Corke
PUBLISHER: Good Books, 2025
OPENING LINES:
Old Hannah, the milk cow, lived in a small Bethlehem barn, with just enough room for one.
One night a cold blew. Old Hanah heard a knock. A traveler called:
“Old Hannah, Old Hannah, let my horse in, please!
Your barn is so warm and out here, he will freeze.”
It was a small barn for Old Hannah, but just enough room for two.

This cumulative story tells the tale of a milk cow who receives several visitors on a cold night long ago. No matter how many visitors knock at her door, she and her guests make room for one more, even a newborn infant. Young readers will enjoy the repeated refrain, building tension, unique point of view, and darling illustrations in this Christmas story with themes of kindness and generosity.
