His Own Simple Gift

This book is a very special Christmas poetry book. It has two very important themes; inclusion and diversity. In early December of 1951, Helen Hensley was living at her parent's home while teaching at Winchester High in the United States of America.

Each day after classes found her walking from the school to her church, where she worked as Interim Educational Director. Late one afternoon, as she arrived at the front walk of her home, she could see her mother, Elizabeth Davies Clark, waiting at the front door. Her mother had an urgent request: 

"I need a Christmas story for the December meeting of the Winchester Music Club".
