I enjoyed reading this delightful Christmas tale to myyearold niece in July, This story can be read yearlong, I chose this book for her because it tells the story of how kids can find the joy in giving any time of the year and also know the joy of Christmas.
The bright illustrations are detailed just enough for little ones, My niece checked out the facial expressions and clothes of the characters and was prompted to ask a few questions that led to spiritual answers or discussion.
The book caught my eye because I wanted to find a book that would show my niece good habits and values.
It would have been the perfect holiday gift for her but I couldn't wait,
This would be a nice gift for any celebration and perfect for the Christmas season,
This story is sweeter than any Christmas cookie! A Star in the Night is a calm, sweet tale of a little boy who finds out that the greatest gift we can receive is when we in fact give of ourselves.
What I like best about this story is that, in the end, the message is that we must love others AS ourselves, not one over the other.
. . and that someone will always be there to take care of us, Im a sucker for a good Christmas story, and I had seen this one was ranked on the bestsellers list in the Large Print Childrens Books category for several days, so I picked it up when I was ordering some DVDs for church.
Though part of the Wings of Faith line from Guardian Angel Publishing, I wouldnt say that I found this to be an overly religious book.
Yes, it includes a Bible verse and David drops in at the local church and stands beside the manger scene, but I also believe that children of other faiths and their families would appreciate the message this book relaysthe importance of thinking of others.
Im not sure this is what the author intended, but this is how I honestly felt about it,
Whether Christmas to you means the birth of Christ or Santa Claus slipping down chimneys leaving gifts, the reality is that both celebrations have at their heart a message of thinking of others, spreading peace, and sharing.
Thats what A Star in the Night is all about,
I am a huge fan of K, C. Sniders artwork. I find her winter scenes are some of the finest examples of her work, Looking at the front cover of A Star in the Night, I knew she illustrated the book without looking at the credit.
If K. C. only illustrated books set during the winter, I would still be very happy though I have to admit to being particularly fond of the picture that shows David inside the church.
I highly recommend A Star in the Night by Jennifer Gladen if you are looking for a childrens book that will encourage your children to think of others during the Christmas seasonand hopefully all year round.
