A bright anthology of stories, poems and prayers linked to Christmas. Christmas is a wonderful time for sharing stories.
At the very heart of the Christmas festival are the accounts of Jesus' birth, full of miracle and wonder. Around them has arisen a wealth of storytelling old and new - an abundance of tales that explore the Christmas message of love and kindness, of joy and peace. Lion has been publishing Christmas stories and prayers for over a generation, and this book brings you a selection of favourites to help you build your own storytelling traditions. Stories include: - Mary Had a Baby - Teddy Bear, Piglet, Kitten and Me - Let Us Travel to Christmas - The Fourth Wise Man - The Gifts of Christmas - Baboushka - The Legend of Saint Nicholas - Brother Comgall's Christmas - Papa Panov's Special Day - Heaven on Earth
The extracts can be used as a ready-made advent curriculum in schools. The material lends itself easily to drama and action. In homes it will prove to be an ideal family book with something for everyone up to age 11.
