Jennifer Catney’s rhyming picture book is full of simple and practical ways children can spread kindness in their homes and communities as they prepare for Christmas. Readers young and old will love the beautiful and heartfelt illustrations of families spreading kindness with their words and actions during the Christmas season and beyond.

This delightful story shares the author’s memory of learning the Filling the Manger tradition from her mother…

“This empty manger will help to remind us, that the greatest of gifts is the gift of God’s kindness.”
