We Three Kings

A parent might reach for this book when they want to slow down during a frantic holiday season and introduce their child to the majesty of religious art and tradition. It is perfect for those moments when you want to shift the focus from the excitement of gifts to the quiet sense of wonder and awe found in heritage. This book uses the lyrics of the classic Christmas carol to tell the story of the Three Kings and their journey across the desert. Gennady Spirin's illustrations are incredibly detailed and reminiscent of Renaissance paintings, making each page feel like a masterpiece in a museum. While younger children will be captivated by the colors and animals, older children (ages 6-8) will appreciate the historical depth and the sense of perseverance found in the kings' long trek. It is a beautiful choice for families looking to bridge the gap between music, faith, and fine art.
