This is the words of the hymn and some background on where it comes from accompanying beautiful illustrations. I‘m glad this came up as my #doublespin this month! @TheAromaofBooks #WinterGames2021 #TeamGameSleighers @StayCurious +26 pts

5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This book is all about the illustrations. The illustrations are amazing, and not just because the people are illustrated as POC instead of a white. It‘s so refreshing to see that in this story. Normally Jesus, Mary, and Joseph are epictured as a white family, and here they match the story setting. Plus, I love the story of how the song came to be that is included at the end. Great job!

I‘m always looking for Christmas books with Mary, Joseph and Jesus as people of color (there are no white people in the Bible!). This gorgeously illustrated book is set to the words of the classic song.

I would frame any one of these illustrations, and I‘ll be buying this for my godson.

LibrarianRyan I was looking for this book in Litsy this morning and couldn‘t find it. I will have to try again. 6y
Peddler410 I have this one, too. 6y
BookInMyHands @Peddler410 I just can‘t get over how lovely it is! 6y
BookInMyHands @LibrarianRyan I searched title and author together, if that helps 6y
LibrarianRyan @BookInMyHands I had the title and ISBN. It‘s rare the ISBN doesn‘t work unless it‘s a special edition 6y
