It seems to me that children's books dealing with faith and church have been getting better. Perhaps more than any other season, the Advent-Christmas cycle provides fertile ground to capture the imaginations of children with some quality books. I asked an expert--my wife--to put together a very short list of her favorites. I have added links to Amazon.com so that you can learn more.The Donkey's Dream by Barbara Helen Berger (especially good for Advent)
How Jesus Came by Thomas Wahl, OSB (especially good for Advent)
B is for Bethlehem by Elisa Kleven
Jesus The Word by Mark Francisco Bozzuti-Jones, illustrated by Shelly Hehenberger
What Star Is This? by Joseph Slate, illustrated by Alison Jay
The Animals' First Christmas Adapted by Gaby Goldsack, illustrated by Linda Clearwater (especially good for toddlers and preschoolers)
Who Is Coming to our House? by Joseph Slate, illustrated by Ashley Wolff (especially good for toddlers and preschoolers)
Enjoy!
