For the holidays, a Nativity story
about the natural grace of animals

An interview with Elizabeth Marshall Thomas

"Certain Poor Shepherds acknowledges Christ's divinity more than anything I've read in a long, long time. It also expresses what I feel most deeply, which is that human beings have no corner on the divinity of things. What I want to do is to engender respect for animals. In everything I write, I try to do that."
