Spider’s Gift:
Spider’s Gift: A Christmas Story by Geraldine Ann Marshall and illustrated by Rebecca Sorge is an absolutely beautiful story of the nativity told from the viewpoint of its tiniest participants–the cricket, the honeybee, and the spider and emphasises that every gift is valuable if it s offered with love. Children ages 4-6 will delight in this book that includes a story, a prayer, and pages of facts and folklore about spiders. Author and zoologist Geraldine Ann Marshall enchants readers and opens their hearts to the true Christmas story.
In this Interview, Geraldine talks about her book and tells us how her book is different than other children’s Christmas books as it has animal-related twist to the Christmas story with a strong Christian message and it teaches children how beloved they are and helps them appreciate their intrinsic value. Geraldine also counts the benefits of reading her book with your kids & starting a new family Christmas tradition. She gives us sneak peak into her future projects and more.
