![]() ![]() ![]() The Nutcracker, based on the New York City Ballet’s production of George Balanchine’s The Nutcracker is illustrated by Valeria Docampo. I like that it takes a different perspective on the magic and anticipation we feel at Christmastime while still pointing to the reason we celebrate Christ’s birth. However, younger children can certainly engage with this book. It is geared toward children age 4–7, and I think the poetic language does lend itself best to that age bracket. Join every creature as they celebrate the arrival of Jesus!” All of creation comes together in this poetic and majestic telling of the Christmas story. I think the publisher’s description does a great job capturing the essence of this book-" Song of the Stars, written by bestselling author Sally Lloyd-Jones, takes children on the journey of Advent and the anticipation of Jesus’ arrival. I like the illustrations, and I like that it is a simple but clear story about the importance of Jesus’ birth. He is the new King, the rescuing King, the forever King. It is a retelling of the Christmas story from a very pointed perspective that Jesus is the promised King of the Bible. ![]() The Christmas Promise Storybook: A True Story from the Bible about God’s Forever King by Alison Mitchell is a great addition to any Christmas library. ![]()
