Customer Reviews

Jesus never mentioned

This book is well written, but never mentions the name of Jesus, and alludes to the fact that every baby born is equal with Jesus. We are all made in God's image, but Jesus IS God. We won't be reading this with our children-I'm glad I read it by myself before reading it with them

Terrible

I was expecting this to be about the birth of Jesus but Jesus is never mentioned, only alluded to. Very disappointed

Beautiful Book that my Daughter Adores!

We own this and have read it every night before Christmas. It's a fantastic book that seems easy for my 2 year old daughter to follow. Wonderful pictures! She loves looking at the Angels and the Baby. And such a beautiful message. I highly recommend.

beautiful book

My three and five year old love this book. It is a simple beautiful Christmas book and ends with how each baby brings God's smile to earth. This would be a great gift for a December baby in particular.

beautiful book

I love reading this to my daughter. The pictures are wonderful, and do a great job portraying the story of jesus being born. And it also relates it to a baby being born in the image of God. I just Love it!!
