Great Family Book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
As a small town librarian, I recommend this book for family reading over the holidays. Its message is as simple as it is profound: like breathing out and breathing in, you have to give in order to get. Also, wonderful illustrations. This story is a natural for a composer of melodic talent. Who hasn't enjoyed Amahl and the Night Visitors? Read it and see if you agree.
A treasured addition to every family's library!

Every year I search for just the right Christmas storybook to add to my daughter's collection. The Miracle of the Myrrh is a wonderful story that celebrates the true spirit of giving and Christianity. It is a welcome relief for a season that has become so commercialized. I know this book will become one of our favorite Holiday reads.

A Christmas Classic
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
Marci Alborghetti has written a children's story which will be a Christmas favorite for years to come. The Miracle of the Myrrh is a sensitive tale showing us the blessings we receive when we generously offer our gifts to meet another's need. I can picture myuself reading this to a child every Christmas season. It is a story which will never grow old. Herve Blondon captures the story visually in such a way that, once the stroy is read, the child who is not yet reading can "read" the story again just by looking at the illustrations.
Excellent Child's Christmas Book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
My wife and I are often searching for good books which provide a basis for discussion with our four children - especially at Christmas, when we don't want everything to be about Santa Claus, reindeer and presents. Alborghetti has written a book which offers a wonderful opportunity to discuss the meaning of Christmas - the values of charity and hope. A great pre-Christmas buy which can be read year round.
