About This Book
A parent would reach for this book when looking for a gentle, reverent introduction to the biblical Christmas story for a young child. It is for the family that wishes to move beyond the commercial aspects of the holiday and focus on its spiritual origins. This book simply and tenderly retells the story of Jesus's birth, from Mary and Joseph's journey to Bethlehem to the arrival of the shepherds and wise men. With a focus on wonder, familial love, and quiet joy, the narrative is accessible for preschoolers but profound enough for early elementary students. Nonny Hogrogian's classic, folk-art style illustrations lend a timeless, heirloom quality to this beautiful and peaceful telling of the Nativity.
