Art is by Steve Smallman, who illustrated the Read and Share™ Bible. One of the unique features of this book-a very new slant on a very old story-is that it shows the coming and going of angels connected with the birth of Christ. Readers will see that angels brought a new message for ordinary people caught up in this wonderful drama of the birth of God's Son.
