At this time of year we often think of Christmas carols, and among the most popular is of course, “Silent Night”. But what if it wasn’t really all that silent? When we go to church on Sunday morning, we know that we’re supposed to, at least at certain times of the service, be quiet. But Jesus wasn’t born in a church—he was born in a stable; stables have animals, and animals make noise.
In a delightful story The Silent Noisy Night (B&H Kids, 2018) Jill Roman Lord asks us to imagine what it would be like if it weren’t really a silent night, but because of animals, angels, shepherds, and even the townspeople all celebrating the birth of a baby, it was instead quite a noisy evening.
To help the imagination of your ‘littles’, there are wonderful, colorful illustrations by Kelly Breemer.
This is one of the most fun Christmas books for 2-4 years old that I remember seeing. I’m donating my copy to the children’s’ shelter at our local Rescue Mission.
I received a copy of the book in exchange for a review, I was not required to write a positive review, but was instead asked for honest feedback.
5/5
