A heartwarming and humorous retelling of the traditional nativity story, told from the viewpoint and 'singing voices' of the baby animals at the inn.


Netta the donkey loves to sing with her friends, Esther the sheep and Uzi the camel. They frolic around town from dawn till dusk, braying, bleating and gurgling. But sadly, not everyone likes to listen.

Netta falls silent until something so wondrous happens that her song bursts forth once more.

A joyful nativity story from award-winning creators Katrina Nannestad and Freya Blackwood.
