Product Description

Review

Father and Son os the best yet. It captures the sense of wonderment every time a father looks at his child. (Sonia Benster, The Children's Bookshop )

“This is a clever and beautifully told version of the biblical story, which really makes you think. Fabian Negrin’s magical, dreamlike illustrations of angels sleeping under the twinkling stars and exotic birds flying through pale coloured skies, are reminiscent in places of Chagall. A truly wonderful picture book which deserves a place as a work of art.”

Product Description

'So, long after the star had set, after the angels had roosted, after the shepherds had hurried back to their sheep, there was one person still awake in a dark stable, watching over a sleeping child.' Complemented by Fabian Negrin's atmospheric illustrations, this picture book is destined to become a classic.

5.0 out of 5 stars A touching take on the Christmas story, 27 Dec 2006
By C. Senior (Sheffield, U.K.) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Father and Son (Hardcover)
This is a beautifully-illustrated and thoughtful take on the Christmas story, told from the viewpoint of Joseph. He is overwhelmed at the idea of bringing up God's son and at a loss as to how he can match God or teach Jesus anything, being as he is both God and boy. It paints a beautiful picture of the relationship between father and son, as well as telling us much about the character of God: as creator, Father and sovereign Lord. This book takes a creative look at the birth of Jesus without adding or taking away from the truths of the Bible and would make a great present for Christmas or Baptism/Dedication, for believers or non.
