Reading: GOOD NEWS! IT'S CHRISTMAS! - Glenys Nellist (writer), Lizzie Walkley (illustrator)

Though I consider myself "spiritual" over religious, keeping an open mind all the while though never discussing the topic much (it's a no-win argument, and I seek to change no one's views in their faith, let alone my own), this board book for kids telling of Joseph and Mary's journey to Bethlehem and the birth of Christ - told in verse, no less - just blew me away with the sheer beauty of its artwork (though the words are pretty great, too), and the simple and touching way it told its story. A quick read and terrific introduction to any faith-based household seeking to impart this story to their young children, Good News! It's Christmas! is a must for any kid's (or even adult's) library, and should easily become a yearly tradition to re-read every December. (NOTE: Please click on images below to enlarge.)  5/5 stars
NOTE: I received a free ARC of this title via NetGalley and the publisher, in exchange for an honest review.
