CMA 2025 Book Award for Design and Production: Children's Book (Honorable Mention)
In this luminous Christmas story, Benji the shepherd boy sets out with one burning desire: to find the newborn King and offer him his most treasured possession, a warm sheepskin coat. But when he encounters a shivering, lost child along the way, Benji faces a profound choice between holding on to his gift for Christ or giving it to the one who needs it most. Written by beloved Catholic spiritual writer Caryll Houselander and brought to life with breathtaking illustrations by Jess Mason, The Shepherd's Coat weaves together tenderness, sacrifice, and the timeless Gospel truth that whatever we do for the least of these, we do for Him.
