Baboushka and the Three Kings Reviews

I feel as though children who celebrate Christmas are filled with visions of Santa. But, the story of Baboushka does not discuss elaborate gifts, rather meager gifts that are equally as precious. Furthermore, it shows children that it is okay to never give up hope. The book has religious undertones, but it is not overly religious. I think it would be a good book to read to children in order to enlighten them about folktales in other countries, as well as provide them with another character to admire besides the ever-present Santa Claus.
