One Wintry Night By Ruth Bell Graham is one of my all time favorite Christmas books for children. It’s a wonderful story set in the Smokey Mountains about a boy who injures his ankle in a wintry storm and finds refuge in a stranger’s home. The woman of the house tends to his sprained ankle and to his questioning heart.

Ruth Bell Graham tells the Christmas story from creation to the cross with stunning illustrations by Richard Jesse Watson. Not a picture book length, but rather written in short chapters, this book is a must read for all.
