Lovely art with Christmas story from scriptures.

I first heard from this book while visiting a ward 2 states away from where I lived. That ward's Relief Society used it for a Christmas lesson. I was so captivated by what I heard that I immediately inquired as to the book and wrote down the information.

Somewhere between the church and home I lost that information. I searched and searched for it, then searching even more online and in bookstores trying to describe the book based on what little detail I remembered. I searched for YEARS.

Finally, one day, I came across this WONDERFUL book when I was NOT looking for it. Happy day!!!! Simon Dewey's artwork is, of course, superb. But it's the text that brings me back. Not only is this book artwork to the beautiful Primary children's Christmas song, "This is the Season," the book is chock full of enlightening and thought-provoking commentary from prophets and apostles about individual people and aspects of the Christmas Story.

I would give this book 10 stars if I could!!!

The pictures make me feel like I'm really there and that the people are familiar.

This book perfectly portrays and illustrates the real meaning behind Christmas. It is not only filled with beautiful illustrations but with words that fill us with the Spirit of Christmas.
