Discover the Wonders of Advent Through the Eyes of Nature
From bestselling author Gayle Boss comes a breathtaking picture book that invites children to journey through Advent alongside 24 extraordinary woodland animals. Beautifully illustrated by award-winning artist Sharon Spitz, All Creation Waits: The Advent Mystery of New Beginnings captivates young readers with lyrical storytelling and radiant watercolors that bring the magic of winter's creatures to life.
Each day of Advent reveals a new animal's astonishing adaptation to the dark and cold—Wood Frog becomes a frog-shaped cube of ice, Painted Turtle sleeps underwater without breathing, and Black Bear hibernates in perfect stillness. With each tale, children hear the gentle refrain: The dark is not an end. It's a door. It's the way a new beginning comes.
This stunning book encourages families to slow down and savor the beauty of reflective waiting during the often chaotic holiday season. Readers will be enchanted by:
- Fascinating animal facts that reveal the intricate ways creatures survive winter.
- Poetic prose that celebrates the wonder of creation.
- "Animal wonderment" reflection questions that invite thoughtful exploration and conversation.
- Advent calendar-style spreads, perfect for discovering one animal each day.
All Creation Waits culminates in the birth of the Christ Child, the ultimate sign of hope and renewal, making it an inspiring and meaningful Advent companion for children and families alike.
Perfect for bedtime reading, classroom discussions, or family traditions, this exquisite book will become a cherished part of your holiday season for years to come.
Give the gift of wonder, reflection, and nature's wisdom this Advent—share All Creation Waits with your loved ones today!
