- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The Christmas story retold in a very real way where we can feel Mary's pain as she bounces along on the donkeys back 9 months pregnant and sense her and Joseph's fear of who this child will be. Well done
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I love the design of this small book. It is filled with beautiful watercolor illustrations and a beautiful story. VanLiere has written a realistic view of Mary and Joseph's arduous journey to Bethlehem. You get a better understanding of what it must have been like and makes them feel much more real. I really mean small book, by the way. It only took about half an hour to read but will definitely be reread again and again each Christmas. It has definitely gotten me into the spirit of the holiday and I believe, sometimes, it is good to remind ourselves what Christmas is all about.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A great synopsis of what it was probably like for Mary and Joseph. Thanks!!
