When a baby was born in the manger, Mary and Joseph rejoiced. The angels sang, and kings journeyed to bring gifts. When you came into the world, there was a celebration too - because every new baby is a small miracle.

From School Library Journal
PreSchool-K–This simple retelling of the Nativity story begins with Joseph arriving in a tiny town and, after knocking on doors, asking, &Have you heard? A baby! A baby is coming! After Joseph and Mary are turned away many times, their donkey takes them to a stable filled with beasts that welcome the couple. The acrylic illustrations are mostly endearing but the page with the angels may remind some readers of the children in Disneyland's &It's a Small World attraction. After the shepherds and Wise Men come to pay their respects and bring gifts, the book explains that every time a baby is born, stars and angels sing in their &satin voices, &Have you heard? A baby! Our baby is here! An excess of cuteness adds little to the timeless story.–Diane Olivo-Posner, Los Angeles Public Library END

This review is from: The Christmas Baby (Hardcover)
My three and five year old love this book. It is a simple beautiful Christmas book and ends with how each baby brings God's smile to earth. This would be a great gift for a December baby in particular.
