We all know how reading with children is important, but the experience indeed is heightened when they interact with a book. I like how you pointed these pros out in your review.

From a sampling, this seems like an interesting children's book designed to teach children about Christmas. For those with younger children, it might be worth a second look. Well done.

It's hard to find children's book that tell the religious reason for the season of Christmas. I'm glad the author created this book that will serve as a staple for parents to give to their kids about the holiday season, that's about more than presents. Congrats Esther for receiving the BOTD honor from the OnlineBookClub.

Thank you for your exciting review. I could tell how much you enjoyed the book. You are right, children love asking all kinds of questions! From the sample, this looked like a book that would explain the meaning of Christmas for children. I also agree with you that the pictures are lovely and children enjoy pictures too. I'm glad the author included other questions too, so the children stay entertained and paying attention. Because you review was so wonderful, I have added this to my list of books to read.

Seeing the content of this book, I am lead to wonder how Mary felt seeing an angel of the lord. Unlike what were are used to imagining, the descriptions of angels in the bible are far from beautiful.

For children, pictures give them more understanding of the story and also helps them to memorise the stories. Great book. Really enjoyed by the kids even though we are not christians.

'Official Review: I Wonder Why It's Christmas' by Esther Ekunola brings to our knowledge the remarkable aspects of the children's book. I like the presentation style in the review. The point that the book tells the children how Christmas began and the essence of celebrating it is worth mentioning in the review. Readers would note that the author backed the story with Bible verses. They would love the way the author talked about love and why God gave us his son Also, as mentioned in the review, the book will help children appreciate the essence of salvation through Jesus Christ. Learning that this book is adorned with beautiful pictures was nice!

This is an excellent way for Christian families to teach their children about the bible in an easy-to-understand manner. The illustrations and the additional questions for kids enable them to keep their interest longer.
