Father and Son: a Nativity Story
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
A book that stirs the imagination and delights the heart. My toddlers and preteens enjoyed it as well as myself! I was pleasantly surprised at the authors ability to express the quandry that Joseph experienced given the task of raising infant Jesus, and her touching conclusion. Wonderful gift book!!
Beautifully poetic

I love this book, which we happened across at the library in the spring and enjoyed reading even though it was "out of season." I'll be buying several copies for gifts when Christmas rolls around. It's a beautiful, poetic imagining of what thoughts Joseph may have had the night Christ was born. Yes, as some reviews point out, the language is a bit lofty compared to many picture books . . . but we've found that our preschooler picks up much more than we might give him credit for, so I don't see that as a drawback at all. These are lofty spiritual concepts, and the author does them justice. (Written from a Catholic/traditional Christian viewpoint. We're Orthodox Christians and found it perfectly appropriate.)
