A lovely blend of words and pictures presents the Christmas story from an angel s point of view. Daring in its attempt to explain the idea of eternity, the book rises above the mediocre as an angel explains how the supernatural has interacted with the real world to bring truth. . . . A fine choice. Booklist, ALA In the voice of a seasoned spinner of yarns, Clements imagines a heavenly perspective on the birth of Jesus. The clever and colloquial text incorporates angel appearances from several Bible stories and hints at what it might feel like to be such a religious messenger. Kiesler s soft oil paintings set the scene for biblical events with canvases of blue-black starlit nights and vast expanses of golden Middle Eastern desert. A few aerial perspectives bolster the premise of the text. Publishers Weekly
