Warm, lavish illustrations by James Bernardin bring to life a timeless tale by Lori Walburg, a story that will help families celebrate the mystery and miracle of Christmas—for many Christmases to come.

Ratings and reviews

Brilliantly written! Appealing illustrations, and such deep and beautiful meaning to such a simple story. I loved it, and feel that all children will.

This book is a good book to read but it is a super short read! Just keep that in mind when thinking of the purchase.

Wonderful story of God's love with a story that appeals to children of all ages.
