What is The First Christmas about?

Mary and Joseph travel to Bethlehem, where they find shelter in a humble stable. There, beneath the watchful eyes of animals, Jesus is born. Soon, shepherds arrive with an astonishing message from angels, and wise men journey from far away, guided by a bright star. Through lively illustrations and clear storytelling, Marcia Williams retells the nativity story, showing how this small, peaceful beginning became one of the most celebrated events in the world and remains at the heart of Christmas.
