beautiful retelling of the Christmas story
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
Berry's poem is Mary's song of rejoicing at Jesus' first birthday. The whole world joins in--animals, trees, people--to celebrate the event. We hear about how the angel came to Mary to announce Jesus's coming, how the wise men and the shepherds were there to welcome him, and how he has grown in his first year. Berry has given Mary and Jesus a humanness that any parent and child can relate to, and his gentle rhyme and the lovely illustrations that accompany it are sure to please any reader and listener. As soon as I read it, I knew I had found the perfect Christmas gift for everyone on my list, regardless of age.
