Packed with exquisite illustrations, this delightful book will point young readers to the true story of Christmas.

My Christmas ABC is a delightful picture book that introduces young readers to the true meaning of Christmas through a creative alphabet–based storytelling approach. Popular children’s author, Catherine MacKenzie, combines the simplicity of an ABC primer with the profound message of the nativity story, making it an ideal gift for children during the holiday season.

Each letter of the alphabet corresponds to an important aspect of the Christmas story, from the Angel’s announcement to the everlasting nature of Jesus Christ. The book beautifully weaves together familiar elements of the nativity with deeper theological concepts, creating a perfect balance of accessibility and depth.

Charming illustrations bring each letter and its associated concept to life, engaging children visually while reinforcing the message. The book’s design allows for interactive reading experiences, encouraging parents and children to discuss the significance of each element in the story.

My Christmas ABC goes beyond mere recitation of the alphabet, offering explanations for more complex ideas. This feature makes it an excellent tool for parents and educators looking to introduce children to the spiritual aspects of Christmas in an age–appropriate manner.

The book’s unique structure also serves as a memory aid, helping children retain key elements of the nativity story long after the holiday season has passed. It’s a resource that families can return to year after year, discovering new layers of meaning as children grow and develop.

With its focus on the central figure of Jesus Christ, from his humble birth to his ultimate victory over sin, My Christmas ABC presents a comprehensive yet accessible overview of the Christian faith. It’s not just a seasonal read, but a timeless treasure that can spark meaningful conversations about faith, love, and the true meaning of Christmas throughout the year.
