Lily, the lost and found lamb

Lydia Salazar Martinez

"Teresa, a young shepherd girl, loved her little lamb Lily. Lily liked nothing better than to run and skip all day long in the fields near Bethlehem. One night the sky became as bright as day. Angels appeared to tell the shepherds the good news of Jesus' birth. Although Lily did not understand what the angels were saying, she hurried to Bethlehem, even running ahead of the shepherds. When Teresa arrived at the stable, she fell on her knees by the manger holding the newborn Savior. There, nestled close by, was her little lamb."--Cover p. [4]
