Look! A Child's Guide to Advent and Christmas presents Advent as special time for waiting and watching--paying attention--to the ways God comes to us. This treasured book reassures children of the presence of God in all times and places and invites them to become part of the holy work of making Christ present in the world.
Told from the point of a view of a child, the story weaves together familiar Advent traditions like the Jesse tree and the Advent wreath, Biblical stories and characters, and reflections on what these stories call us to do and be. With thoughtful and thought-provoking text, and beautiful and diverse illustrations, Look! provides an opportunity to explore the coming of Jesus with practical and fresh perspectives, inspiring children to ask questions and experience this special season in a brand-new way.
In the warm, thoughtful style that has made her books so popular with families who want to encourage their children to think deeply and engage their spiritual imaginations, Laura Alary presents this first book in the Circle of Wonder series that explores the church's liturgical seasons.
