Written by Daniel Wiegand and beautifully illustrated by Carina Reytblat, The First Night Before Christmas starts with those familiar words "Twas the night before Christmas" but takes a totally different direction after that. It's a simple book written in rhyme, but it captures the real essence of Christmas. It's a family classic that you'll want to read together year after year.
Daniel Wiegand is a Catholic attorney and author of Confessions of a Born Again Catholic - A Scriptural Look at Catholic Christianity. But he is also a grandfather who has loved reading stories to his grandchildren. This book is written with that in mind.
