Baboushka and the Three Kings

Baboushka and the Three Kings tells the Russian folktale of Baboushka, an old woman who turns away the Three Kings on their journey to find the newborn Christ child, only to spend the rest of her days searching for him herself. It's a story about second chances and the gifts we carry in our hearts, brought to life through Nicolas Sidjakov's stunning illustrations that won the 1961 Caldecott Medal. 

There's a bittersweet tenderness to Baboushka's journey that makes this tale feel deeper than most Christmas stories, the kind that stays with you long after you close the book. If you're looking for something that captures both the joy and the true meaning of the season, this is a story worth reading.
