Where Jesus Slept by Norma Lewis



A new picture book about the Nativity of Jesus, with a lively cumulative story structure.

From Jesus sleeping sweetly to the wise men bringing gifts, this charming book reminds readers of the joyous event we celebrate at Christmastime. Children will love the charming illustrations and the engaging repetition in this Nativity tale. Ages 4-7.

Norma Lewis is the author of ten books, including Connecting the Coasts: The Race to Build the Transcontinental Railroad and Kasey's River Song. She lives in Grand Haven, Michigan, with a marmalade cat named Scalawag. They both love spending time with her six grandchildren, ranging in age from three to twenty.
Katy Hudson was raised in Middlesbrough, United Kingdom, and started her career as a small child drawing on freshly painted walls! Her parents quickly encouraged drawing with pencil and paper instead. The idea stuck, and after earning a degree in illustration, Katy embarked on a career illustrating books, including All Things Bright and Beautiful for WorthyKids/Ideals and Bear and Duck. Katy works at a desk in a studio in an old library and likes to tap dance in her spare time.

My Review

What a cute book! Tis the season coming up for this wonderful story about our Savior. Very well illustrated by Katy Hudson. Very colorful my Granddaughter Maddi kept saying how beautiful it is.  She loved the story. The story of  what took place that wonderful day our Savior was born. I would read to her and she would say the part Where Jesus Slept! Wonderful story of Christ for our little ones to hear. At the end of the story Maddi said, Nana Jesus loves me and I love Him. Makes your heart melt. Great book pick it up for the Holiday coming up. 5 star
