This year, families can gather together to share the real Christmas story—the story of Jesus' birth. 'Twas the Evening of Christmasechoes the familiar language and rhythm of Dr. Clements' poetry, but instead of focusing on Santa, it focuses on the baby Jesus, who is, after all, the true hero of Christmas. All families will delight in this simple retelling of the most famous story ever told. With a cover that comes alive with foil and sculpted embossing, this book is sure to become a Christmas classic.
From Publishers Weekly:
"In a skillfully composed text that mimics the phrasing and cadence of Clement C. Moore's familiar holiday poem, Nellist presents a Nativity story that balances a lighthearted, anticipatory tone with an overarching reverence for the subject matter."
