This is a sweet and meaningful story about a young girl who dreams of becoming a shepherdess.. The illustrations are full of emotion and have a soft, nostalgic feel that reminded me of classic Precious Moments artwork. They beautifully capture the heart of the story, especially in the angelic scene, which is sure to fill young readers with wonder. One line that truly stood out to me was: “She was important simply because she was Serah, and that was enough to be seen and loved by Him.” What a powerful and reassuring message for children - especially during the Christmas season.
This is a gentle, heartfelt story that shares an important reminder of worth and belonging. This would make a lovely addition to a holiday book collection.

This is such a sweet take on the Christmas story. We often see this through various perspectives but this is the first I’ve read from a child’s point of view, which I really appreciated. The illustrations are beautiful. This would be an excellent addition to your picture book collection! 5⭐️

I was given a copy of this in exchange for a review. These are my honest thoughts. Thank you Net Galley and Zonderkidz!

Beautifully written, lovely illustrations. Everything you would want in a Christmas book for youngsters between 4-8 years old.

Just perfect.

Pretty sure it will be a gift for my nephew for Christmas.
