Illustrated by James Bernadin
Rating: Recommended
Harper Blessings, 2009, $16.99
ISBN: 9780060776367
Age/Grade Level: PreK to Grade 2



The illustrations in this beautiful book are simply stunning. The story of Jesus's birth is related in a series of twelve poems and pictures, each from a different participant in the event. This is a well-crafted book of praise and celebration, and is a good choice for family sharing during the Christmas season.
