The Christmas Promise, by Alison Mitchell and illustrated by Catalina Echeverri is the story of Jesus’s birth. God promised us a new king, but He would be unlike any king anyone had ever known. This king would be a Rescuing King, a New King, and a Forever King. This is the story of Mary, Joseph, the shepherds, the angels who helped them, Jesus, and the wise men.
About the Author- Alison Mitchell is involved with Growing Young Disciples and is the Children’s Editor at The Good Book Company.
My thoughts- I thought The Christmas Promise was the perfect book to explain Jesus’s birth to young children. It had wonderful illustrations and it showed how he had come here to us for us. The illustrations were colorful and they showed exactly what the story was telling. I liked the portrayal of the kings that Jesus was not. He was our New King, Rescuing King, and Forever King. I liked how they were stressed in the book, because it helps the listener/reader to realize how important Jesus is to us.
I also liked the page at the very end of the book which told where the birth of Jesus is described in the book. It even showed where some of God’s promises of Jesus are written about in the Old Testament.
I think this book would be perfect for young children and their families. It is a perfect gift.
