Jella Lepman and Her Library of Dreams: The Woman… von Katherine Paterson
Longform - exception must see when arrives.
Diese Rezension wurde für LibraryThing Early Reviewers geschrieben.I fell completely in love with this book. It tells the story of Christ's birth from Mary's point of view. The illustrations took my breath away. They are full of color and life. It brought the story to life in such an intimate way. An absolute treasure that will be a Christmas tradition to read in our home for years to come.
Shayla: this book was so cute and I would definitely recommend!
This novel is exactly what a good children's book should be, in my opinion. It's got a relatable protagonist, a well-paced interesting plot, and emotional highs and lows. I'm very glad I finally took time to read this.
