Description: Have you ever thought about Mary of Nazareth when she was a little girl? She had a Mama and a Papa and liked to run and play and listen to stories and sing songs. What special things about Mary led God to choose her to be part of His important plan? This delightfully winsome illustrated children?s book shows how God loves and blesses Mary as she grows from a baby to a young woman, preparing to make a very special choice. It shows how God also has a plan for your life, blessing your talents?your intelligence, your creativity, and your own unique voice. Taking Mary from her birth to the shepherds visiting the new baby Jesus in the manger, the illustrations by internationally collected fine artist Shelbee Mares bring Mary?s story to life with joyful color and whimsy, inviting young and old alike into Mary?s world.
