Theological concepts that are difficult are probably presented in a manner that suits young minds. The visual component of children's books is crucial. Engaging drawings will keep children's attention and will back up the story. I believe "I Wonder Why It's Christmas" did fulfill it. Congrats on #BOTD

Great review of the children’s book, "I Wonder Why It's Christmas" by Esther Ekunola. The cover and pictures look just right for children and the Bible citations make the story fit in with great literature or with religion. The story developers and then the readers can ask for understanding right along with the questions in the book. This makes it easy to open up any type of conversation about Christmas, the Bible or other things too. Congratulations on BOTD.

"I Wonder Why It's Christmas" by Esther Ekunola beautifully tells the story of Christmas, from the angel's visit to Mary to the joy it brings to families. With engaging storytelling and lovely illustrations, it teaches children the essence of the holiday and includes interactive elements like questions to enhance understanding. Backed by Bible verses, Recommended for children over four to learn about the true meaning of Christmas and appreciate the gift of Jesus Christ. Adding it to my reading list!

The book is written using simple language and the inclusion of vibrant pictures only makes it appealing for young readers. Even as an adult, I think the questions posed by the author will encourage me to learn more.

A lovely illustrated book to educate the early readers and reminding the old ones about the main reason for celebrating the Christmas season. This is a must have book for every Christian family.
