What is The Christmas Book about?

Follow the bright star to Bethlehem in this gentle retelling of the Christmas story. Mary and Joseph travel to a stable, where baby Jesus is born. Angels fill the night sky with song, bringing joyful news to shepherds watching their flocks. The shepherds hurry to see the baby, while three wise men journey from far away, guided by the shining star. With simple words and clear, colourful illustrations, Dick Bruna introduces young children to the story at the heart of Christmas.
