      Sometimes Jesus speaks through curious circumstances or people. I shouldn't be surprised. Throughout the Bible, animals or objects became instruments for communicating important truths. A talking donkey, for instance (Numbers 22:28). While watching a

      This is an illustrated children's book about Christmas, and the difficulties surroundings an extended family. The story centers on a family taking the month of December to visit and celebrate Christmas with many relatives in 17 different locations in the United States. The story shows the different climate and celebrations in these cities. The illustrations are rich in primary colors, but the majority of the scenes show nighttime, almost like the whole story is happening as a dream. The language/vocabulary of the story seems too advanced for younger children. Children and even adults may have trouble with words such as miraculous, possibly, and translations. The rhyme scheme does not flow smoothly. The use of numbers (from one to seventeen) can be good or bad, depending on the age of the child reading the story. I liked the concept, but felt that the presentation needed polishing.
