A Christmas story centered on the shepherds and villagers

This beautifully illustrated book tells the story of the shepherds and some townspeople searching Bethlehem for baby, finding him, and celebrating with a meal of milk and bread and dancing. It isn't very clear on why this baby is special, but it does say "Come see the world made new. The same old world, but new." In fact, it never uses the words "Christ" or "Jesus" but the holy family will be unmistakable to those familiar with THE Christmas Story. On the whole, a beautiful addition to a Christmas library.

A story of hope and celebration!

Come and See is a unique and remarkable telling of the birth ofChrist as seen through the eyes of children. A story of hope andcelebration, the excitement of this event is felt by the reader as the children issue the invitation to come and see and dance.
