I Wonder Why It's Christmas by Esther Ekunola is an interesting book about Christmas for children. It explains why we celebrate Christmas and how it all started. This should be an educational book for children.

Personally, I think the questions that the author occasionally asked will help the readers ( especially children) really learn the story of Christmas. I love that the author thought it right to tell the story of Christmas to children. Good one.

It's refreshing to see a book that focuses on the true meaning of Christmas, rather than just the commercial aspects. The fact that the book is well-edited and error-free is definitely a testament to the author's skill and attention to detail.

Celebrating Christmas annually is one of the questions asked by my nephew. Amidst those questions, is the innocence and curiosity to know why 25th of December was chosen to celebrate. I don't mind grabbing a copy for my nephew. Great review

I love the innocence of the question how Mary can give birth to a baby boy without being married. As a non-practicing Christian, I am happy to see books aimed at children explaining the reason for the season of Christmas (love the flow of words so shamelessly copying them over from the reviewer).
