Who built the stable

Where the Baby Jesus lay?

Was it built of bricks,

Was it built of clay?

We all know that Mary and Joseph traveled so far to find shelter on Christmas Eve night.

We all know that they were offered the only room in town, in a stable.

We all know that their roommates were donkeys and oxen and lambs.

But what we don't know is who built that stable where the Baby Jesus lay?

Through the eyes of one child, Ashley Bryan tells us the rest of the Nativity story—who built that stable, how that one act of love changed the world, and why the kindness of children can be the greatest of Christmas gifts.
