This simple and sincere retelling of the Christmas story is perfect for the under 5s, introducing them to the great story at the heart of the festival and its message of love. Bright illustrations help the story along, telling little children about all the events of the nativity: the angels' visits to Mary and Joseph; the journey to Bethlehem; the shepherds and the angels; the wise men's travels and encounter with Herod; and Mary and Joseph's care for the baby that would grow up to show the world God's love.
