“I am always looking for quality Christmas books, and especially books that help focus on the true reason behind the season, so I was excited to read Are You The Babe of Bethlehem?. This non-denominational picture book follows a little boy as he is seeking the ‘babe in Bethlehem’ and asks various people in the nativity story if it is them. The pattern repeats as the boy learns who each of the people really are and what their significance to the story is until finally, he finds Christ. The end of the book is touching to see their interaction. It is fairly long for young readers, but I really like how the book is easily adaptable for the age and level of the person reading. The illustrations by Aubrie Moyer are darling and add so much to the sweet text.”

“I am normally a ‘Christmas-after-Thanksgiving’ kind of girl, but I couldn’t wait to share this book because it is so sweet and beautiful. A little boy discovers the nativity person-by-person while searching for the babe of Bethlehem. Each of the key people in the story of Jesus’ birth are depicted with a coordinating scripture reference. It has beautiful illustrations and is going to be a great addition to our Christmas book collection.”

“A feast for the eyes and a reward to the soul. I’ve enjoyed this book immensely… It was obvious from my first scanning of the pages that this book was produced with inspiration and great care. Every detail exudes thoughtful intent—designed to create an experience that rewards the reader for their brief immersion in its pages. Regarding the artwork, I’ve been a Dan Burr fan for years and was excited to see that he was the artist. Oh my goodness. You won’t be disappointed.”

—R. Bohlen, Amazon reviewer

“Outstanding! I found this book to be inspirational in every way. The author uses passages from the Bible to prepare our minds for these masterfully written sonnets. The illustrations are equal to this great work. Dan Burr’s artwork brings a feeling of reverence and contemplation to the pages.”

“I loved reading this book to my grandchildren. There was a feeling of peace and love as they followed along… The repetitive element, ‘Long, long ago’ is a visual key that ties each experience together, which young readers love to say aloud each time. A wonderful gift for everyone this Christmas!”

“Upon reading this book for the first time, I fell in love with it! The story is so unique and thought-provoking… I think this book is one of the better children’s Christmas books that I have read in a long time!”
