Our culture has a secular tradition of “christmas stories” that are fun and do have general good messages. It’s reassuring that there are children’s stories that are in print that teach at a faith level. This is a good story for young families to have on their shelves to lead their families to deeper reflection on Jesus’ birth.

Such a sweet story. Good lesson presented in a fun story. And as all books from Word on Fire illustrations are beautiful.
