Customer Reviews

Great Christmas book for both children and adults!

Truly a 5 minute story, separated into 12 small stories, this book is unique and wonderfully written. Each of the stories are from the perspective of different characters in the Birth Story. We look forward to reading these each night as we await Christmas to arrive! I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is looking for a new and interesting tradition in their house at Christmastime!
