This is the baby, perfect and new,

God with a heartbeat from heaven for you.

Toddlers and young children will delight in this beautiful picture book with rhyming and rhythmic text about the story of the first Christmas. The birth of Jesus is told in a refreshing and captivating rhyme for children, which will be a joy to share and read out loud. Restless kids will swiftly join in the story as the narrative builds and repeats and be captivated by the charming illustrations.

In this cleverly crafted text, the animals make room in their stable for two tired travellers, a newborn baby is laid in a manger of hay, shepherds visit and a bright star sparkles, guiding wise men from afar.

Ruth Hearson complements her very engaging story with heart-warming illustrations full of captivating details that young children will adore. The baby lying in the hay radiates joy, and the animals and visitors are full of character.

Perfect for sharing at bedtime or with a group of young children aged 2+ years over the Christmas season.
