Experience the events of Jesus’s birth on that first Christmas night with this stunning board book written in the beloved style of “‘Twas the Night Before Christmas.” 

“‘Twas the very first Christmas when all through the town, not a creature was stirring—there was not a sound.”

This beautiful retelling of the birth of Jesus celebrates that fateful night in Bethlehem so long ago. The story begins with Mary and Joseph’s arrival in Bethlehem and continues through Christ’s birth, the angels’ appearance to the shepherds, and the wise men’s visit. Simple, elegant verses are brought to life with lush oil paintings, creating an enchanting reading experience for little ones and their families.
