Synopsis

A holiday classic about the power and unity of belief in the face of differences.
To Whom the Angel Spoke is the story of three shepherds who are as different as men can be. One night, those men hear a voice, and because they believe the voice’s words about the birth of Jesus, they become alike.
In author Terry Kay’s moving story, the unifying power of simple belief transcends differences, reminding us that, as diverse as we are, there is a celebration that can bring us all together.

From School Library Journal:

Kindergarten-Grade 4–Originally published in 1991, this quiet story has been heavily edited and revamped for reading aloud. As a star shines down on Bethlehem, a voice on the wind speaks to three shepherds who differ from one another physically and ideologically. They are beckoned forth to meet a &babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger and they all come away with a different story of their journey to meet the Christ child. Using scripture from the Book of Luke in the King James Version of the Bible, this book stresses peace among men and setting aside differences, especially at Christmas. The soft acrylic illustrations are improved (brightened and framed) and in some cases changed altogether from the original. Because of its small size, the book is best used in small groups or shared one-on-one.–Madeline J. Bryant, Los Angeles Public Library END
