Books with title Sofia the First Sofia's First Christmas

Lovingly illustrated by celebrated artist Frank Fraser, Thomas D. Williams's magnificent poem The First Christmas tells of the monumental event that Christians have celebrated for more than two thousand years: the birth of Jesus in a stable in Bethlehem. Replete with glorious angels, joyful shepherds, indifferent townspeople, humble kings, delightful donkeys, cattle, sheep, and, of course, Joseph, Mary, and the adorable baby Jesus, these sublime pages leave Santa Claus behind and bring to vivid life the tender, moving, true story of Christmas. If you love the classic poem Twas the Night Before Christmas, you'll treasure The First Christmas and place it at the center of your family's annual Christmas celebrations.

With captivating verse and beautiful illustrations, "Twas the First Christmas Eve" offers a refreshing glimpse into one of the most glorious, yet often-overlooked truths about Christ's nativity. Told in the same cadence as the classic poem "The Night Before Christmas," each page invites children (and their elders!) to enter into reflective wonder, and to joyfully discover their place among the shepherds, wise men, and angels who were present that most holy night. "Twas the First Christmas Eve" gently leads us from the little manger in the hillside cave to the manger in our hearts, where we peek into the eyes of Love and are reminded of a wondrous truth!

Christopher wants the truth, not fairy tales. So his mother tells the amazing and miraculous story of Jesus' birth. Along the way, Christopher learns the answers to important questions about Christmas. And all of the answers are right in the Bible! An illustrated children's book, The Very First Christmas places the focus of Christmas on God's story - His plan for the salvation of mankind through Jesus Christ. It will become a treasured Christmas classic to be enjoyed year after year.
