'I love seeing a new Christmas picture book, and just in time too.
This is a heart--warming, down to earth story about a little
shepherd boy who had to stop crafting toys in order to look after
his sheep. However, he finds them just in time to give as a gift
for the new born Son of God. The story is simply told, and the
illustrations are beautiful.'
-- Kindling
'The character of the shepherd boy makes this simple re-telling of
the nativity story easy for young children to relate to.'
-- Armadillo
'The lovely illustrations perfectly capture the beauty and
simplicity of the story. The impressionistic angel and the heavenly
host bring a warm glow to the pages when they appear. This is a
nice addition to holiday books about the Nativity... This would be
a fine choice for those looking for a warm and gentle story of the
nativity.'
