Special Christmas Presentation of stories from Renee's CD Once Upon a Bethlehem Night.
Renée Englot shares stories of the people, animals and even plants who visited the manger-side. Learn how robin got his red breast, why owl cries hoo, how nightingale learned to sing, and more.
Renée Englot loves to tell stories. She has visited schools, libraries, book stores, seniors centres, universities, and festivals across Canada and in the United States. Once Upon a Bethlehem Night has already received a 2011 National Parenting Publications Award in the Children’s Media, Music and Audio category:
Take a new look at the Christmas story. The small shepherd, camel, flower, spider, star, the innkeeper’s daughter and others tell what happened that Bethlehem night.
Englot’s voice is perfect; and the music enhances the mood.
