Other editions of book By Maite Roche My First Prayers for Christmas

The real meaning of Christmas is revealed to very young children in these tender prayers to be said with parents. The simple text and inviting four-color illustrations help convey the mood of each prayer, whether it is the anticipation of Advent, the wonder of the shepherds or the adoration of the magi. Each page invites the young child to thank and praise God for his greatest gift of all - Jesus, his Son.

With sweet, four-color pictures, this board book with rounded corners introduces toddlers to the story of Christmas. Baby Jesus, Mary and Joseph, the shepherds, the angels, and the wise men - all are illustrated with large, inviting pictures. On the opposing pages, are several smaller pictures with details from the scene: the donkey, the manger, the sheep, etc. By pointing out and naming the pictures with a parent, even very young children can come to know and love the Christmas story.
