Star of Wonder!

Illustrations by Alice Buckingham

This charming picture book tells the miraculous story of Jesus’ birth on a child’s level. Join the wonder of that night when the shepherds hear the good news from a sky full of angels.   While in another part of the world, wise men find a new, gigantic star, so bright it lights up the sky.  They drop everything to follow it.     Their journey takes them many miles.  They must cross the desert, and deal with the ravings of King Herod who is frightened he will be replaced by a new king.  But they do not give up, and keep following the star.  That is how they end up in the house Jesus, Mary and Joseph are living in, where they can worship the new king and give him gifts.

This old story is made new again through simple words meant for a child’s understanding.  The illustrations are bright, beautiful and draw young ones into the story.  Children will thrill to hear of the escape the wise men made from King Herod by not going back, along with the bright star in the sky that led them to Jesus.  I highly recommend this five-plus star book to all children everywhere from ages one through five-years-old.
