A Special Night in the Forest Kathleen Johnston Baiocco

The book is a fictional story using animals to portray the truth with excitement, of the night the Christ child was born. This book was written over a period of time, adding stories to the book as I progressed and developed the story. It brings the true meaning of Christmas and how all of nature sensed the glorious night of Christ's birth. It is about the first Christmas tree out in the woods, with animals decorating it, for one of the biggest events in history. They all gathered together in the center of the woods, bringing their gifts to share with one another in the spirit and celebration of Christmas. The book ends with the star of Bethlehem appearing over their tree, as they bow down and worship the King of Kings. I am a Christian, that raised my two daughters, Kelly and Nancy and my son Marc in Christ and they in turn are raising their children in Christianity. It is a very real and living God we follow. Setting the right examples for children gives them guidelines they take with them for a lifetime. I mentioned scripture in the story without really saying the scripture, but implying the meaning of the bible phrase. I hope as the children read this book, it will inspire them to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ to everyone they come in contact with. I am very blessed to have been able to share my thoughts in this book and hope everyone will enjoy reading it, as much as I have enjoyed writing it.
