Room for a Little One: A Christmas Tale (2006), written by Martin Waddell and illustrated by Jason Cockcroft, tells a story set on the night of Jesus’ birth. It begins in a stable where Kind Ox offers shelter to various animals seeking warmth on a cold night—first to Old Dog, then to Stray Cat, Small Mouse, and finally to a tired donkey. Each new arrival is welcomed with kindness and reassurance that there is always room for one more. As the stable fills, the quiet night leads to a special moment when a woman and man arrive, looking for a place to rest. The story builds softly to the birth of a child, showing how simple acts of generosity and compassion can create a place of peace and belonging.
