Beloved author-illustrator Tomie dePaola delivers the perfect first Christmas book in this nativity story told from a bird's-eye view. Now available in board! On the morning of the first Christmas, the birds of Bethlehem gather in the fields—not only to eat but to share exciting news. People from all over have descended on Bethlehem and an angel has appeared in the night sky. Something extraordinary is coming! The birds agree that they must find this wondrous thing, and off they fly to the stable where a child has been born. In simple language and dazzling pictures, Tomie dePaola shares the awe and anticipation of the first Christmas. His cast of brightly coloured, curious birds will appeal to young children, making this a perfect introduction to the story of Christmas.Author: Tomie dePaola,author Contributors: Tomie dePaola,author Binding: board_book Publication Date: Release Date: Languages: English,Published,English,Original Language,Englis Format: Picture Book Published/Release Date: 7 Oct 2025 Format: Board book Publisher/Studio/Brand: Penguin Putnam Inc Author/Director/Artist: Tomie dePaola Dimension (cm): 178x178x15 mm Package Dimension (cm): 16x177x177 mm Item Weight (g): 276 Package Weight (g): 271
