Some Book Reviews:

5/5 stars - I would give this book 10 stars if I could!!!

I first heard from this book while visiting a ward 2 states away from where I lived. That ward's Relief Society used it for a Christmas lesson. I was so captivated by what I heard that I immediately inquired as to the book and wrote down the information. 

Somewhere between the church and home I lost that information. I searched and searched for it, then searching even more online and in bookstores trying to describe the book based on what little detail I remembered. I searched for YEARS.

Finally, one day, I came across this WONDERFUL book when I was NOT looking for it. Happy day!!!! Simon Dewey's artwork is, of course, superb. But it's the text that brings me back. Not only is this book artwork to the beautiful Primary children's Christmas song, "This is the Season," the book is chock full of enlightening and thought-provoking commentary from prophets and apostles about individual people and aspects of the Christmas Story.

5/5 stars - It was amazing

This book perfectly portrays and illustrates the real meaning behind Christmas. It is not only filled with beautiful illustrations but with words that fill us with the Spirit of Christmas.

About the Illustrator:

Simon Dewey is a portrait painter, primarily of religious art. Born in 1962, he is the only son of a London bus driver and part-time artist and left home at age seventeen to attend London Art College. His earliest memory of drawing was at age five when his father gave him an old roll of wallpaper and a pencil and told him to fill the entire roll with sketches, which he covered with every thing he could think to draw.

He worked for a time as a corporate visual aids illustrator. His exceptional skills earned him a position as the sole illustrator in a small design firm. After he married, he became a freelance illustrator and worked on projects for Scholastic and Penguin Book. He has worked for well-known clients Hasbro/Milton Bradley, RCA Columbia, Warner Home Video, and CBS Fox. His work has appeared on the covers of numerous magazines.

In 1997, he released his painting “He Lives,” and quickly gained popularity with a Latter-day Saint audience and became a bestselling artist of LDS religious art. He is a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Many of his paintings illustrate the stories of the New Testament and the life and ministry of Jesus Christ. He has also painted themes from the life of Joseph Smith.Dewey and his wife, Lorraine, are the parents of five children and live in Alberta, Canada.
