The First Noel A Tale of Friendship by Clare Johnson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
The First Noel: A Tale of Friendship by Clare Johnson is a family/children’s story and a nice tale to share with them in the Christmas spirit. It is a whimsical tale of a friendship which starts in a Nativity setting of the birth of baby Jesus. Clare states the narrative was born from a ballet production and is a story to teach the lessons of friendship and love, to stand up for what you believe in even though others may not agree or is not the norm. The story structure is told in poem format which took me a while to settle into. The illustrations are colourful and depict the dancing throughout the story.
