Angels and Donkeys: Tales for Christmas and Other Times
The stories in this collection were told by Pastor Andre' Trocme to the children of Le Chambon-sur-Lignon while France was under seige, occupied by Hilter's troops. The rescuers did not know what their neighbors were doing. No one talked. Excellent for both children and adults.

super-cute little stories. Parable in nature, slightly heavy handed, but charming none the less.
This collection was written by one of my new/current heroes, Andre Trocme, and translated by his daughter. Trocme lead a resistance underground to rescue prisoners, mostly Jewish children, during WWII in Vichy France. These stories were part of the annual Christmas celebrations and if you read between the lines, you can see a very clear encouragement to the right kinds of bravery, resistance and charity.
