A mother shares the story of the miracle of her son's birth along with the story of Christ's birth. Although I love how the story celebrates human life and retells Christ's birth, I did not enjoy the dual storylines.For younger readers/listeners, it may be challenging to keep the two stories separate. Ms. Berry does change the font to make each story distinct. The illustrations also have the three wisemen coming to visit the modern baby boy . . .humorous yet not at the same time. On the other hand, I love that a book recently published celebrates the miracle of human life and what a joy it is to have children! Of course, having Christ's birth retold is wonderful too.
The illustrations are luscious and bold.
