The birth of a child is an occasion for joy, and when Jesus was born the whole world rejoiced. This unique Christmas story lyrically evokes for children the excitement of the day they were born, and the wonder of the miraculous birth at the centre of the Nativity story. Lush illustrations echo the simple poem in a dazzling celebration of birth and of the baby born that very first Christmas.
