Humphrey's First Christmas, by Carol Heyer is a beautiful story with with wonderful illustrations and funny camel expressions...you will absolutely love this one!

Alabaster's Song is a beautiful, imaginative story about an angel written by Max Lucado. This one has been a favorite in our house for a few years now.  There is also a DVD of this story and also board book version.
