Goodnight, Manger (Zonderkidz), by Laura Sassi ’91, is a rhyming children’s picture book that weaves the classic Christmas tale together with the familiar routines of bedtime. Mary and Joseph are trying to lull the newborn Jesus to sleep, but that proves difficult in a noisy manger with itchy hay and exuberant visitors. Sassi is also the author of Goodnight, Ark.
