It’s Christmas, and there is so much to be excited about!

This lift-the-flap book helps kids keep Jesus at the center as they explore and share all the fun, love, and true joy of this special time of year.

“With its fun, lift-the-flap design and beautifully vibrant and diverse illustrations, Share the Joy! encourages little ones to seek and celebrate the true joys of Christmas: the love of family and friends, giving and thanksgiving, and—most of all—the celebration of the Savior who ‘changed the world with His great love’! A must for Christmas!”
