By capturing the beguilement, the joy, and the gratitude of Mary-an unsuspecting mother of a child of unimaginable magnitude-through poetic text and narration, the author enables readers to grasp the depth of the experience. The magnificent, alluring illustrations by Norwegian author and illustrator Lisa Aisato illuminate the pages and bring the story to life.Ideal for educators to share with their students in Christian elementary school classrooms around the nation during the days leading up to the celebration of the Christ Child's birth." --Seattle Book Review.
