In this intimate presentation between mother and child, Mary tells a young Jesus all about the wonder of his birth. Gifted storyteller Walter Wangerin, Jr. and the sensitive artwork of illustrator Timothy Ladwig make each page come alive with the miracle of the incarnation. Written in four parts, this beautiful hardcover book can be read in one sitting or over the course of four nights."
