Lovely Holiday Story to Cherish for Years to Come, November 25, 2004
This review is from: A Gift for the Christ Child (Hardcover)
Miriam wants nothing more than to help at the Inn in Bethlehem, in which her parents run. But she is constantly told that she is much too small to help with anything. However, one day her wish comes true, when she is called upon to bring a pregnant woman, her husband, and their donkey to the stable of the Inn. While there, the woman gives birth to her son, and Miriam is there to be the first person to welcome him into the world.
If you're looking for a holiday book for your child this year, Tina Jahnert's A GIFT FOR THE CHRIST CHILD should be one at the top of your list. Her wonderful story depicting a young girl who feels useless, and then turns out to be one of the most important players in the story of Jesus' birth is enchanting, while the lovely illustrations couldn't be more beautiful. A must have!
