Who was Born this Special Day?

Eve Bunting's "Who was Born this Special Day?" is a tender and lyrical poetic retelling of the Nativity story, focusing on the birth of Jesus. The book uses a gentle, repetitive structure, asking about various stable animals before revealing the special child. It's an ideal read-aloud for young children, ages 4-8, especially during the Christmas season, offering a comforting introduction to the religious significance of the holiday. The full-color illustrations complement the text, creating a warm and reverent atmosphere. Parents will appreciate its simple, heartfelt approach to a foundational Christian narrative.

Not the lamb or the goat or the mule or the dove was born on the first Christmas long ago, but a special child was.
