Description

In this gentle retelling of the nativity story for all ages, Italian illustrator Giuliano Ferri pictures the scene in luminous, soft-focused watercolors, reflecting only innocence, love, and wonder in the faces of the Holy Family, the three wise men, the shepherds, the animals, and the angels. "Faithful to Matthew and Luke but resourceful in its storytelling, this Nativity story is a quiet gem among the myriad Gospel adaptations available. Upon hearing of God's plan for her, Mary 'went around with singing in her heart,' an image that conveys the joy of Jesus' arrival in the world—the heart of the Christmas celebration. Ferri's dusty earth tones and round, stylized figures transport readers to the ancient Middle East."—Publishers Weekly
