The Deliverer Has Come by Sarah Smith and Illustrated by Shin Maeng

 

The Deliverer Has Come by Sarah Smith and Illustrated by Shin Maeng from Penguin Random House. Told from the perspective of a young girl living during the time of Jesus’s birth, this uniquely illustrated nativity story helps young readers understand the “what” and embrace the “why” of Christmas.

Anika loves stories. Her favorites are the stories Great Auntie Anna shares from the scriptures. The stories about the Deliverer, the one God promised to send, the one whom the Israelites have been waiting for.
Soon Anika begins to hear new stories that hint that the Deliverer has come from shepherds, wise men, and even her great-auntie! Will Anika get to one day tell the story of how she too met the Deliverer?

Through this child’s-eye view of the original nativity story accompanied by breathtakingly unique illustrations, husband-and-wife team Sarah Shin and Shin Maeng weave together the anticipation and waiting in the season of Advent with the celebration of the arrival of our hope through Jesus.

My Opinion: It tells a wonderful story of the birth of Jesus and the hope of him saving our world no matter the size he is, everyone is happy, and Anika finally gets to meet him and is truly amazing.
