Lucado's Gift to Children

If ever you doubt the special link between children and angels, read Alabaster's Song, Max Lucado's newest book for children. He tells the story as though from his own childhood, describing Christmas Eve when a young boy watched the angel atop the family tree. As he nears sleep he begins a lively conversation with the angel who does not answer until the boy asks him about the first Christmas. Then the angel begins telling all and sings as he had on that marvelous night.

Michael Garland has illustrated the story well, in a style with strong vitality and color. It's the kind of story that is labeled a "children's story" but will be enjoyed by young and old alike as the Christmas season approaches.

Alabaster's Song has an accompanying animated video by the same title which expands the story to include more detail. The video opens with a family scene from 1960 and expands the story before moving to the present. As a grown father, he wakes his son and reawakens his own devotion while they listen to Alabaster's Song.

Max Lucado's previous books for children are The Crippled Lamb and Just in Case You Ever Wonder. This story may not have enough content for a video, but it communicates God's unchanging love clearly.
