Little One, We Knew You'd Come by Sally Lloyd-Jones, illustrated by Jackie Morris.

This incredibly lush and lovely picture book tells two stories, one of the miracle of everyone's birth and the other the miraculous arrival of Jesus.  The words echo the feelings of longing of all parents while the illustrations show Mary and Joseph on their way to the stable.  The poetic language of the text rocks with a quiet rhythm of cradle, rocking chair, and arms.  The illustrations are deeply colored, filled with butterflies, fruits, animals, angels, and touches of gold.  This is a beautiful book for the Christmas Season.
