Funnily enough, I also asked why it was called Christmas when I was a child and I got the same response as explained in this book. Nice review!

The Christmas story is one of hope amid hopeless, and it is amazing to see that the author has not only written a book to help children get answers pertaining to such a season and day, but also included amazing, interactive exercises. I am glad that some biblical scriptures were employed as well. Many thanks for the amazing review.

Christmas has become so commercialized. Even non-Christians await Christmas because of the shopping discounts and glitzy decor everywhere. I laud the author for making children appreciate the real meaning of the season: Christ the God becoming man to save mankind.

I think I also like the questions asked in the book. Questions help the individual, especially children, to internalize and examine the matter before concluding on an answer. Hence, knowing or learning more deeply in the process. Congrats to the author for doing such a wonderful job.
