What I love about book is that it helps children to grasp not only the context of the Christmas story but also the reality that it is not just a story or a fairytale but that it is a true event in history. In this engaging and colourful book children have all of the facts at their fingertips to allow them to come to this conclusion for themselves. A perfect gift for those children who love to learn and gather information on the “whys” and “hows” of a story!

Is the story of Jesus just make-believe? "All About Christmas" digs into the facts to show kids that Jesus is real. Each colorful page invites your family to discover that the Bible is God’s true word.
Barbara Reaoch, Author, A Jesus Easter and A Jesus Christmas
This is brilliant. As you investigate the facts of the Christmas story you will be intrigued, informed and amazed at what really happened. And best of all, you will discover why Jesus is still worth celebrating today.
Jonty Allcock, Author, Happily Ever After, Impossible Commands, Upside Down series
All About Christmas is such a fun read! Alison Mitchell has once again used her gifts to God’s glory as she has clearly brainstormed to compile a vast array of Christmas facts that will spur young readers or listeners on to understand important elements of the coming of our Savior in a whole new way. What great layouts and colorful graphics too. My grandchildren are going to love this!
Mary Mohler, Author, Growing in Gratitude
An excellent book with lots of information on each page, but so easy to read. There is great focus on the biblical account but also interesting facts about life in Bible times and Christmas traditions today. Alison sets things straight about those parts of the Christmas story we know to be true and the parts that have become accepted as true (e.g., the stable, three kings.) Children will love it.
Angie McKee, Education Department, Child Evangelism Fellowship of Ireland
"All About Christmas" is the sort of book I would have spent endless hours poring over as a kid. Alison Mitchell weaves the biblical accounts of the first Christmas together with maps, diagrams, photos, and loads of fun facts to create a beautiful book that grounds the good news of Jesus' birth in living, breathing history. I can't wait to start handing this book out to my students!
