PRAISE:

"The theme--that the most basic meaning of Christmas has remained the same over the centuries--is conveyed with a warm and captivating simplicity that even the youngest child will understand." --Starred, School Library Journal

"Gorgeous watercolor illustrations in a subdued palette of twilight grays set off the falling snowflakes in the modern scenes, while the biblical scenes are brilliantly lit by starlight. Castillo's smudgy style infuses all with wonder." --Starred, Kirkus Reviews
