This book presents the traditional nativity story from a Christian perspective, showing how the baby in the manger was a special king that had been promised from years before in order to bring hope, forgiveness and peace. With striking illustrations and an easy to follow storyline, The Christmas Promise is a book for exploring how the story of the birth of Jesus fits into the wider Christian narrative of the Bible.
If you are looking for something slightly different that gives the Christian perspective about Easter, Inspector Smart and the Case of the Empty Tomb: Case File is ideal for KS2. Presented as a detective’s case file, the text and picture clues gradually build up a picture of the story of Jesus’ resurrection and what it means to Christian believers. There is also a simpler chapter book version available on Amazon that is suited to KS1 or weaker readers.
