4.0 out of 5 stars More Than Santa Claus, June 22, 2003

By

This review is from: Baby Jesus Like My Brother (Paperback)

Keisha and her younger brother Tony go downtown with the Boys Club to look at the
Christmas decorations in the windows of the downtown stores. During their walk,
Tony asks a lot of questions about Christmas, Jesus, and the meaning behind many holiday
traditions. Keisha, still a child herself, answers the questions as best she can as
the two discuss the true meaning of Christmas.

Ford's illustrations are simply beautiful and are a nice accompaniment to this cute
story. If you are looking for a book that provides an accurate Biblical account of Jesus
and his birth then this is probably not the book for you. But if you are looking for a
feel good story, which highlights the special relationship between siblings and presents
the story of Christmas from a child's point of view, then this book is a worthy addition
to any child's library.

(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Baby Jesus Like My Brother (Hardcover)

Some may not like the grammer and some may not like children's book talking about things like evictions. But this book will open discussions with your child about the true meaning of Christmas when you can discuss the real ways many children have to live. Many families celebrate Christmas as the birth of christ and for those children this book will be a welcome addition.
