Description
"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]

Lily was the favorite lamb of Teresa, a shepherd who kept sheep in the hills surrounding Bethlehem. Lily loved to hear Teresa play her flute. One night the shepherds and sheep were awakened by beautiful music--much more beautiful than Lily had heard before. Angels brought the shepherds good news of a Savior's birth and the shepherds hurried off to find the stable in Bethlehem. Although Lily could not understand what was going on, she too hurried off; in fact, she got so far ahead of the rest that Teresa believed her favorite lamb was lost. Lily, however, was the first to find the baby in the manger. Along with the other shepherds, Teresa gave thanks for the coming of the good news--and for finding her little lamb. Told in both English and Spanish with full-color art, this gentle story will charm children and adults alike.
