On the way to their discovery, father and daughter read a story about the boyhood life of Jesus, as he joyfully experiences a blessing while asking his mother to tell the story of his birth.

Amazing book not just for kids,
This review is from: Will You Bless Me? (Hardcover)
This is a wonderful "children's book" about what it means to receive a blessing. Little Anna asks her father what he means when he says bless you. He explains this by telling a story about Mary telling Jesus the story of his conception and birth, with Joseph listening to the story. The blessing is the many treasures that Mary reveals to Jesus about how special he is in the plan of God the Father. The book is beautifully written and illustrated and not just for children. Each time I read it to my 5 and 3 year old I learn more and more about the special blessings God has for each of us. Highly recommended.

This review is from: Will You Bless Me? (Hardcover)
An adorable book for young Christians. Suitable mostly for Christmas, but also anytime. The book is the re-telling of the Christmas story by Mary, to her son Jesus. While it might sound like it's appropriate for preschoolers, I would recommend it for ages 5-9. Still young enough to sit on your lap and be read to. But it might be difficult for preschoolers to understand some of it.
