Jackie Morris' watercolor and gold leaf illustrations clearly depict the Christmas Nativity story from Mary and Joseph's journey to Bethlehem, the birth of Jesus, and the coming of the Wise Men.  The borders are paintings of some of the flora and fauna of the artist's native Wales. The book's end pages are gold. The entire book is a visual banquet. 

Beyond the toys and gifts of the season, this book will help teach your children the true meaning and joy of Christmas and will open the door to meaningful discussions about the blessings of their own birth.
