Tiny Baby Jesus Book Giveaway – Closed

November 9th, 2009 • Related • Filed Under

Every year, I enjoy expanding our collection of Christmas books that I read to my kids to remind them of the true meaning of Christmas (speaking of, have you read this post yet?). Our collection includes Peef the Christmas Bear, The Tale of the Three Trees and The Christmas Promise, to name a few. This year, I’m adding Tiny Baby Jesusby Dandi Daley Mackall and illustrated by Julia Noonan  to our collection.

Tiny Baby Jesus offers a fresh look at the Christmas story as it talks about Jesus in terms of his very human condition. Plus, it’s a perfect book to share with my toddler, because she loves the idea of identifying Jesus from his head to his tiny toes.

As you read this book to your children, they will discover the wonder of hands that develop into those of a carpenter and swaddled shoulders that grow to carry the weight of all mankind. Readers can share in the humble birth of tiny baby Jesus while remembering the life and teachings of the grown savior. The book’s messages are simple yet profound, and the illustrations are beautiful.

You can purchase this book on Amazon, but three lucky Lipstick to Crayons readers can win a hard copy for free by entering the contest below.

    I’d love to win this book because we do not have ANY children’s religious books. Even though we attend church regularly. Our 2 older children have their own bibles, but the younger 2 don’t have anything. Thanks for the giveaway!

    If I won this, I’d give it to a little friend who’s been invited to attend church, but who has never accepted, and neither has his parents. It could be used as a witnessing tool about the plan of salvation.

  51. #51 Danielle Gerstenberger on November 15, 2009:

    I want to win this book because I think it’s very easy for kids (and adults too) to get swept up in the excitement of Christmas and forget about the true meaning. I think it’s also very important to remember that Jesus was fully human, just like us and I think this would help kids identify with him more.

  67. #67 Annette W on November 22, 2009:

    My big reason for wanting this book is because my daughter’s preschool will allow us to send in “holiday” books to be read to the class. I would love to share Jesus with them. Of course, it’d be a great addition to our library, too!

  68. #68 Ticia on November 22, 2009:

    I’d love to win this because I’m a sucker for any Christmas book I can get my hands on, especially ones that have Jesus in their center.
