While my 10-year-old was busy coloring the shepherds, I asked him what he thought their journey to find Jesus was like. He imagined them walking through fields under a starry sky, which led to a great discussion about faith. The pages show the shepherds with their flocks, gazing in awe at the newborn Jesus. Remember, the Bible shares that 'She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger.' (Luke 2:7).
