In this re-telling of the birth of Christ, a mother cat searches frantically for her little lost kitten. Before the night is over there is the crying of a baby and angels singing His praises. The night's events leave a lasting effect on all the animals, especially the cats.
Lee Jackson has been involved in helping improve the quality of individual and family life through education for over 25 years. As a family and consumer science teacher (home economics) she taught courses in food and nutrition, child development, clothing and textiles, and consumer education.
She received her B.S. degree in Home Economics education from the University of Wisconsin-Stout, Menomonie, Wisconsin and her M.S. in education from Northwest Missouri State University, Maryville, Missouri.
Her background in family and consumer sciences was the pathway to her career as a high school and middle-school teacher as well as providing a rich field of study for work as a writer. With her long-time interest in foods and nutrition, and while living in two prime apple producing states, she wrote two apple cookbooks: From the Apple Orchard - Recipes for Apple Lovers, and Apples, Apples Everywhere - Favorite Recipes From America's Orchards. Her first venture into the field of children's books is one titled: The Littlest Christmas Kitten. The textbook she wrote, Careers in Focus- Family and Consumer Sciences, is used in schools throughout the country.
She has learned that new directions in life can come during retirement and age is not a barrier in pursuing and expanding the work one enjoys.
