I received this in box of books from a publisher for review. I had not heard of it before it arrived but the cover and title both attracted my attention. First thing the next morning my youngest daughter discovered it on the counter, and immediacy we read it, before we had finished my son had come and joined us and we reread it a second time. The first time I started reading but my daughter took over, and she was the one who read it through the second time.
I think it is a wonderful book. I usually struggle over the holiday season. I dislike going to malls and having to go shopping in December. This book does an amazing job of reminding us about the real reason, and core of the Christmas message.
The Illustrations by Michael LaVoy of wonderfully done. They really do capture the magic of the season. And of Adoration of the infant Jesus. I would love to have a print of the penultimate image in the book to out up in our home during the holidays.
My daughters’ favorite part of the book was seeing Santa knee in adoration of baby Jesus. My son really notices Santa taking off his hat before kneeling before the creche.
It is an excellent little read and a reminder for all of us. The young and young at heart will love this volume. And it is one we will treasure in our home.

I struggled a little on how to review this one. On the one hand, it's got a great message. But, on the other hand, it's clearly not a kid's book, even though it's written in the picture book format. It's not inappropriate or anything, but it's too wordy and too heady for a kid to really enjoy. This is not the book that your kid is going to be pulling off the shelf and asking you to read to them every single night.
However, I would totally give this book to an adult, especially one who is returning to the Church (as it's based on one of Peterson's Catholics Come Home evangemericals). So, since it's 5 for content and a 2 for not-the-best-as-a-children's-book, I'm going to balance things out at a 3. Good book, but give it to an adult.
