    About this ebook

    With the busyness of Christmas time, it’s essential to remember the true meaning of Christmas—that Jesus was born for you. This precious, adorably-illustrated book will remind young readers that, while all of the Christmas activities are exciting and fun, Jesus is the reason we celebrate. He’s the best thing about Christmas! "The best thing about Christmas is that Jesus was born for me. For God had sent us a Savior to set the captives free. The best thing about Christmas is the plan that came from above. For Jesus was born in a manger, yes, Christmas is all about love!" Other titles in the Christmas Read & Sing Along series include: The Gift, Happy Birthday, Jesus and The Friendly Beasts.

    R.W. Alley

    My parents saved everything, so I know that I began drawing sometime around age two. I haven't paused since. In fact, my drawings now and my drawings then bear a rather strong resemblance. I have gotten slightly better at hands, but horses remain a problem. For an only child, growing up in New York, Texas, South Carolina and finally for most of the time in Annapolis, Maryland, drawing was fine self-entertainment. Then, as now, I have always enjoyed most making pictures that illustrate a story rather than hang on a wall. Today I live in Barrington, Rhode Island with the lovely Zoë B. Alley, author, wife and mother of our two clever children, Cassandra and Max. I make my pictures in a studio that has a rolling ladder, more books than I can count and many tubes of half-used, rock-hard paint. For the last ten years one of my big projects has been to illustrate new and old stories of Paddington Bear. I have also made pictures for over one hundred other books since I started doing all this right out of college in 1979. I didn't go to art school, but received a BA in Art History from Haverford College and then spent four years as a staff artist at several greeting card companies. Since then, I have spent my working time in my slippers trying to avoid illustrating stories with horses. R.W. Alley's books include the Paddington Bear series and the Jigsaw Jones books.
