Christmas story based on Luke 1-2

Explore the Christmas story through the eyes of Robin the songbird, sent on a song-finding quest to bring life and music back to Old Gloomy Wood. His quest takes him to Nazareth and Judea in search of a girl called Mary but instead he finds old Zechariah singing about a Saviour. No matter how much Robin tries, he can't sing more than one little tweet. Who is this Saviour who inspires so many others, where can he be found and will Robin the songbird ever sing again?  

This beautifully illustrated picture book brings to life the songs in Luke's gospel in a new, fresh way. From Mary, Zechariah the priest, a crowd of angels and old Simeon at the Temple, what is it about this baby that makes all sorts of people want to sing for joy? 

"A lovely Birds Eye view of the Christmas story" Bob Hartman, writer and storyteller

“This clever story weaves the songs from the nativity in Luke's Gospel together with an adventurous robin and a beautifully illustrated cast of songbirds to make a magical Christmas tale that will be brought out year after year.” Amy Scott Robinson, performance storyteller and author of the Adventuring Girls books
