Mary's First Christmas

Mary's First Christmas

by Tim Ladwig (Illustrator), Walter Wangerin Jr. (Author)

Synopsis

Share the wonder of the events of the first Christmas as seen through the eyes of Mary and retold to her five-year-old son Jesus. This fresh approach to the Christmas story unfolds in four 'instalments' which are ideal to read to children at bedtime or to enjoy with the family in the days leading up to Christmas. Walter Wangerin weaves mystery and glory into this retelling of a familiar story, and his text will awaken a sense of wonder in children and parents alike. Praise for The Fear Not Angel: 'Wangerin's prose fairly shimmers with allusion and music.' - Literacy & Learning Magazine
