TONIGHT YOU ARE MY BABY reads like poetry with lyrical language, and a repeating refrain, “Tomorrow you will be King, But tonight you are my baby.
What sets this book apart from other nativity stories is that it’s told from Mary’s viewpoint. “I kiss your tiny fingers and little perfect head, Lay you in the manger that tonight will be your bed.”
I read it through twice, and on the third time simply looked at the gorgeous illustrations. This book would make a nice Christmas gift for the preschool set.

Hi Everyone – This is a delight to read to your Grandchildren.
Illustrations are beautiful – I would recommend this to all – for all ages. My grandchildren are between 1-1/2 years and 13 years – they wanted me to read it to them over and over. Thanks Janine for a lovely
book.

FINALLY, a book for my preschool grandchildren that explains the true meaning of Christmas. Jeannine Q. Norris captures a mother’s love for her baby and shares it with her young audience in a delightful way. “Tonight You Are My Baby” is the book I have been looking for and one that I have already shared with two young children nestled on my lap.

Although we have many versions of the Christmas story for children, Jeannine Q. Norris’ retelling in verse is especially poignant. All mothers are awed by the birth of their children and Mary was especially in awe of her “baby” who would someday be a king. Tim Ladwig’s illustrations truly capture the beauty of the relationship between mother and child as presented in this Nativity story told in poetic verse. This book is perfect to be read aloud to children from pre-school to grade 1. Second and third graders will enjoy reading the text themselves as will expectant mothers. Tonight You Are My Baby is a gift waiting to be unwrapped and would make a wonderful addition to any family’s Christmas collection.
