Poetic storytelling is interwoven with lyrics from familiar hymns, including “Away in a Manger” and “Silent Night,” making the songs part of how the account is told. Illustrations by Antonio Caparo accompany the text. With its combination of narrative and church music, the book offers families a way to share both the Christmas story and the hymns associated with it.

Book overview

The beloved Nativity story of the very first Christmas is gloriously told through poetic text, cherished church hymns, and luminous illustrations by bestselling illustrator Antonio Caparo in this picture book sure to be a holiday favorite.

Long ago, in a small town called Nazareth, there lived a young woman named Mary. She was full of kindness and love, and she was chosen by God for a very special blessing.

Poetic storytelling and lyrics from classic songs like "O Little Town of Bethlehem," "Away in a Manger," and "Silent Night" weave together to tell the treasured tale of Jesus's birth.
