‘What I love about book is that it helps children to grasp not only the context of the Christmas story but also the reality that it is not just a story or a fairytale but that it is a true event in history. In this engaging and colourful book children have all of the facts at their fingertips to allow them to come to this conclusion for themselves. A perfect gift for those children who love to learn and gather information on the “whys” and “hows” of a story!’ Victoria Jackson, Children’s Ministry Development Officer, Connor Diocese of the Church of Ireland
