A delightful stocking filler for children to remind them of the importance of Christmas and how it came about. Its a significant story which all children should be given the opportunity to explore.

Christmas is always magical, particularly for kids. It explains more about Christmas in religious terms. The author also challenges the reader with some questions that invite thinking.

As much as I love to read children's books to my children, this isn't one of them. This isn't how I would want to explain Christmas to them. Thank you for a wonderful review.

There are so many myths about Christmas that its history is jumbled up in most children's minds. It's good that this author saw it fit to write about this to help children understand better.

The story of Mary's pregnancy and the birth of Jesus is beautiful and very important. It's great that an author has written a book to make it more understandable to children. The questions will help them retain the information. Thank you for the great review.

This children's book discusses the significance of Jesus' birth and the reason for celebrating Christmas. Christmas not only explains to kids why we celebrate it, but it also spreads biblical lessons about Jesus. It also has kid-friendly graphics that make the story easier for them to understand. Congrats on BOTD.

This is a wonderful children's book that teaches children about the true essence of Christmas. The illustrations are great, and I love how the author asks questions in the middle of the story as well as the questions compiled at the end. Your review is spot-on about this book.

I loved your review on "I Wonder Why It's Christmas" by Esther Ekunola because it really gets to the point of this little book of answering the child's question by asking questions after reading a bit of the story first. The pictures are beautiful too which is always eye catching to any child and parent reading the story. I'm looking forward to giving this book as a gift to my granddaughter for Christmas Eve which is why it is on my shelf to read. Congratulations to the author for BOTD.

Today's BOTD is a children's book that explains the meaning behind Christmas and why Christians celebrate it. Complete with beautiful illustrations and questions to guide young readers through the text, it sounds like this book would make a great addition to a home library. Thank you for your wonderful review! :-)
