Are you looking for a fun new book for your toddler this Christmas season that is centered around the true meaning of Christmas? I was excited to see that Sally Lloyd-Jones' picture book Song of the Stars was available now in a board book. Just perfect for my 1 year old this Christmas!! Her name may sound familiar if you've seen her fantastic Jesus Storybook Bible. Such a great book for children! If you've not taken a look at this sweet Christmas picture book yet, than take some time to read below why you'll want to pick this one up for Christmas.
This board book edition of Song of the Stars, written by New York Times bestselling author Sally Lloyd-Jones and illustrated by Alison Jay, is a Christmas book that explores the joy and celebration in all of creation at the coming of Jesus.
They’ve been waiting with eager longing for the coming of God’s promised Son, and when at last he arrives, the whole earth holds its breath: their Creator, Jesus, Emmanuel has come to the world that he made. Trees, seas, skies, stars, animals—they all spread the news that at last the time has come. It’s time! He’s here!
My Review:
I thought the story was sweet how it tells the Christmas story through the eyes of the animals. I think it reiterates that the whole earth, all of His creation, is groaning until Jesus, the Rescuer comes back. The pictures are beautiful and fun to look at for little ones. I love the message that is repeated over and over of "It's time! It's time!" Such excitement that we should be sharing with our kids of our Savior who gave up everything for us in order to rescue us from our sin. I'm looking forward to wrapping this one up and using it along with other fun surprises for our advent/count down to Christmas this year.
Watch below as Sally Lloyd-Jones reads her book at live online Christmas party in 2011.
