Through the eyes of a child...

Mr. Foote does an excellent job of presenting the birth of Christ from the perspective of an innocent child. In this day and age when folks seldom appreciate the "Gift" of the birth of the son of God, it is so refreshing to happen across a work of art such as what Mr. Foote has crafted. His artwork jumps off the pages at you and the simplistic message of the gift of Jesus Christ is as always, a timely message. This isn't a Christmas book, this is something everyone should add to their library.

A blessed event retold 'kid' style.

The Bible tells this story several times - the meaning all the same. God sent His Son as our Savior and sent him to us in a form which only a rare few could ignore--a baby. Dan again retells the story and sights some very human feelings and thoughts in a way children can relate. The story helps me as an adult realize that the birth and the coming of our King had very human aspects. Dan shows that children play a very important part in helping others..."for you know not when you might be entertaining angels". He makes the Birth of our King REAL!

True to the Scriptural account of the birth of Jesus.

Dan has kept the story true to the Scriptural account of the birth of Jesus with some imagination through the eyes of a child. I think it is an excellent telling of an old story and the artwork is second to none. The colors are bright and eye catching for the children. Dan, in his art, was not afraid to portray things they way they are in real life.I bought a copy for each of my grown daughters, who each have 3 children of their own, and one for my wife and me.

Beautifully written and illustrated

The author wrote this book for children so that they can learn the wonder and joy in the birth of Jesus. I happen to know Dan and always marvel at his love for family and friends. He is truly a gift to publishing and you and your children will enjoy and treasure this Christmas season book.
