Book Synopsis



Step into a winter wonderland filled with beautiful artwork of woodland animals and flower crowns as you celebrate the true meaning of Christmas with your little ones. Merry Christmas, My Darling Dear follows a baby and mama deer who discover that Christmas festivities, decorations, and presents are reminders of the greatest gift of all--the birth of God's Son.

When you string lights on your tree, remember Jesus, the Light of the World. And when you watch snow falling gently down, remember God sent His Son down to earth to be with us. Let each gift you give be a reminder of the greatest gift, the gift of our Savior. This baby and mama deer delight over each Christmasy moment as they wander through the snowy forest, enjoy Christmas activities, and encounter a beautiful church and its nativity scene.

Filled with whimsical illustrations from beloved author and artist Amy Kavelaris, this picture book

  • is for ages 4 to 8;
  • shows the value in Christmas festivities and how they point to the true reason for Christmas, the celebration of Jesus' birth; and
  • is a great gift for Christmas and Advent as well as baby showers during the Christmas season.

See the wonder of the Christmas season through your child's eyes as you teach them that each moment is a celebration of God's Son.

Beutiful Christmas Picture book.

Merry Christmas, My Darling Dear: Celebrating the Gift of Jesus written and illustrated by Amy Kavelaris published by Thomas Nelson is a beautiful Christmas picture book for children ages 4-8. This sweet story shares the gospel message of Christmas with exquisite pictures and an engaging story. I was drawn into this this beautiful picture book and was absolutely enchanted. I loved the mama dear and baby dear who tell the sweet story. It made me want to hold my youngest close as I read the book. This is a book that you will want to share with a little one year after year to celebrate Christmas. The beautiful redemptive themes that share the true meaning of Christmas are accompanied by stunning and engaging pictures. This a true delight. I highly recommend Merry Christmas, My Darling Dear: Celebrating the Gift of Jesus written and illustrated by Amy Kavelaris. A great gift for your child, a grandchild, a niece or nephew, godchild, or really any child to share the sweet story of Christmas. I was gifted a copy and not required to write a positive review.
