Beginning with a young shepherd boy’s dash to Bethlehem on that holiest of nights, That First Christmas Eve presents the true and beautiful significance of Christmas to little ones by introducing Jesus as a little one himself, a tiny king in a humble bed. Even more, That First Christmas Eve is an enchanting lyrical timeline of Jesus’ entire life on earth, from quiet birth to earthshaking resurrection.

Delightful verse, descriptive words and rich, warm illustrations instantly win the hearts of adults and children alike. Its low cost makes That First Christmas Eve a wonderful Christmas gift. Its gentle, rhythmic story will make it a beloved Christmas tradition.

This is the answer for parents and educators seeking the soul and spirit of Christmas for their children. Gifts and glitz fade in the glow of this shining tale of how it all began. As the young shepherd leads little ones from his spot beside the crib to the miracle at the tomb, the lesson gains context in their minds and a place in their hearts.
