Reviews
A beautifully illustrated version of the Christmas story * Church Times *
The story is very simple and easy to understand for children. The illustrations are absolutely gorgeous and really bright and colorful. They make the story stand out and really capture the kids attention. I really enjoyed the simplicity of the story and how it was easy for Cristian to understand. Overall, if you are looking for a book that shares the Nativity story in a way children understand this may just be the book for you. -- Tina the Bookworm
