Share with your loved ones the real meaning of Christmas this year. Share with them the story of the One who created Love itself.

“Christmas! was a breath of fresh air into a story that I’ve seemingly heard hundreds of times…yet I loved having a fresh perspective and a bigger look at the entire story as God intended us to see Christmas as.”
–Rachel Zupke, Mason Jar Values

“This book is short, sweet, and shares some of my favorite Bible stories. Each story is only one page long and faced with a full color illustration. The illustrations are gorgeous and bold — perfect for little boys to stare at as you read. The story itself will only take a few minutes, but I bet your littles will want to talk about how amazing God is afterwards. That is my favorite part.”
–Jessica Lawton at EdSnapshots

“I really like that these daily readings are quite short.  This isn’t an extensive study to try to add in around the edges of already packed days.  The stories would be perfect to read over breakfast or as you were tucking a child in at night.  The images created by  Brianna Siegrist beautifully illustrate the themes and stories.  And there’s even a little green bug to spot in each picture–that was our favorite part!”
–Kortney Garrison at The Curriculum Choice

“Natasha does a wonderful job of connecting each story to the overarching theme of the Bible: the God who loves. She explains each story in language a child would understand, without watering down the powerful truth of God’s love leading up to the cross. One thing that I really liked about the stories that are highlighted in Christmas! is that she included some biblical stories that you don’t usually see in children’s books (like the story of Hosea). She deals with delicate topics in a very tactful way, and uses the stories you don’t typically see to really enrich the understanding of the redeeming love of God.”
–Ally, The Speckled Goat

“An amazing story book for the whole family to enjoy… Each story has a theme and a story directly from the Bible as it weave the Old Testament in with the New to tell the of God’s grace and redemption for His people. It also features exquisite artwork opposite each story.”
–Sasha, Such a Time as This

“If you buy just one book for Advent this year, make it this one. Whether you have busy little ones or just want to be reminded of God’s love yourself, there’s something very special about the way that Christmas! tells the old, old story, making it come back to life and feel very real and personal again.”
–Chantel Brankshire at Kindred Grace

“I want your children to be blessed by it, to hear the story of the Snake and the Snake-killer... of the good God, and how good he really is.”
–Brianna Siegrist

“With 5 kids 6 and under, I’m all about quick and engaging, but often the message is lost in brevity. Natasha and Brianna do a fantastic job of keeping the truths simple and the pictures colorful, with so much to look at and hear, my kids were fascinated with each page and wanted to read the whole book in one sitting.”
–Jessica M. White

“I really love how the author of this Advent book shows how each story, even in the Old Testament, points back to Jesus.”
–Marissa at All in Good Twine

“With repetition of the truth that ‘Really great things happen when God speaks!’ this book tells the old, old story from Creation to Resurrection.”
–Gretchen Louise at Club31Women

“One of the things I love about Natasha is the way she beautifully weaves words in ways that touch my heart. Natasha has done it once again with Christmas! The book exceeded my highest expectations in every way. The simple stories not only touch own heart but interest my two year old at the same time! The art is gorgeous and the words so filled with hope and joy–and the journey through the redemption story is exactly what I want to make the focus of our holidays. Finding the little bugs was such a fun addition to each day’s reading. This book was definitely a new treasure in our house and one I am excited to share with family and friends.”
–Chantel Brankshire, Beautiful Song
