This children’s book offers a moving new perspective on the nativity story-evoking the struggle of Mary, Joseph and Baby Jesus as refugees traveling in a strange land, seeking the protection and kindness of strangers. While everyone may already know the story of how Jesus was humbly born in a manger, Refuge is a lyrical depiction of what came next: the new family’s travels through the desert, fleeing Herod’s soldiers in order to find a safe place to welcome their son into the world. Refuge asks readers to consider the modern day implications of being forced to flee your home country.
