More than 2,000 years ago, Jesus was born to Mary and Joseph in the little town of Bethlehem. This is the story of Jesus' birth—complete with the journey to Bethlehem, the shepherds in the fields, and the appearance of the Wise Men—based on the Biblical account but presented in clear and simple language. Carol Heyer's art, rendered on canvas, imparts to the book the texture of an elegant and classic work of art.
