This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers.

This is a telling of the Nativity story in the style of "The Night Before Christmas", and it is done very well. I would have liked to see fewer white characters portrayed in the story, but that is my only complaint. The three year old and two year old both enjoy it.

A lovely board book that can be read to toddlers to introduce them to the birth of Jesus. (

Sweet text about Christmas told in the cadence of Twas the Night Before Christmas. I'd like to read this one every Christmas Eve to Audrey. (
