Stunning illustrations and a wonderful account of the Nativity of Jesus through the eyes of his mother Mary. This lovely book would make a wonderful gift! It deserves a Caldecott nomination. I received this book through a GoodReads giveaway with the hopes, but not a requirement, of an honest review.

This book is gorgeous. My kids love it. It has a great flow to the story and a whimsical nature between the illustrations and words. It is a great retelling of the birth of Jesus.
