Mary Poppins Brings in the Dawn

 

Mary Poppins Brings in the Dawn, which P. L. Travers had never written while alive.

 Jane and Michael go with Mary Poppins on her day off, to Heaven,

 and they meet the boy Jesus, who is still slightly scared of Mary Poppins because she was once his nanny, 

and the Holy Ghost, who complains that he has not been able to get his sheet properly white since Mary Poppins left, 

and God the Father, who says, 

“There’s no making her do anything. Not her. She’s Mary Poppins.”

 “But you’re God,” said Jane. “You created every body and everything. They have to do what you say.”

“Not her,” said God the Father once again, and he scratched his golden beard flecked with white.

 “I didn’t create her. She’s Mary Poppins.”
