The Christmas Light

About this item

Cold, cranky, and restless one winter’s night, the young daughter of a Bethlehem innkeeper is bothered to wakefulness by the crowded, comfortless condition of her family’s sleeping loft. Recalling the young couple staying in the stable out back, she arises to bring them some fire for warmth. There she approaches the newborn Babe asleep in the manger and has an encounter that changes her mood and alters her life forever.

Claudia Cangilla McAdam’s marvelous retelling of the Christmas story demonstrates to children how an encounter with Christ can change their lives … eternally.

"Children’s hearts are touched by goodness and beauty and it's essential to introduce them to it at a young age. The Christmas Light is a charming and whimsical Christmas tale that reminds children about Jesus, the true light of the world and how His love transforms our hearts."

"The lush, lyrical text and bold, mesmerizing art enchant the reader into a long-ago world, glimmering with glimpses of grace and goodness beneath the seemingly ordinary surface of life – a perfect way to introduce children to the miracle and mystery of the Incarnation."

I give this book 5 stars! A little girl finds the "Prince of Peace" in this fine children's picture book: "THE CHRISTMAS LIGHT " by Claudia Cangilla. On a cold and snowy night in Bethlehem, just one touch from the baby Jesus, fills "Seraphina " with a warmth and peace like she has never felt. Readers will delight in this fictional story based on the real birth of Jesus Christ. The beautiful illustrations capture the warmth and profound meaning of the story. Such a lovely book to read to the children and our lives this Christmas Season!
