'This is the most heart-warming version of the Christmas story I have read in a while. It is written in a beautiful style, ideal for either reading aloud, or quietly and independently. The endearing illustrations draw the reader into various atmospheric scenes and surroundings that you imagine yourself being a part of, wanting to dive in and live the story for real yourself.' - Early Years Educator 'Bernadette Watts' illustrations show her experience over many years, especially with folk tales in many languages, and this charming story, starting with a gift to be given and ending with a gift received, is just right for this time of year.' - Armadillo magazine 'Beautifully, imaginatively written. it is wonderful to have a new Christmas nativity story to share with children.' - Kindling Magazine.
