Most Aussie kids think Christmas is all about holidays and “stuff.” But Christmas is better than that. The Really Good News of Christmas is an eye-catching little book on the true message of Jesus’ birth.

This colourful 28-page book features simple text and bright illustrations aimed at children aged 5-7. However, its narrative is suitable for all children and adults as well.

Measuring just 140mm wide by 148mm high, it’s compact enough for hands of all sizes. This little book has been offered free to churches and individuals to give away.

An animated version of the story – that adds even more to the experience – can be watched here. Participating churches will receive a link to download the video and other resources.

The church offer has closed with 1500 churches taking part. But the offer is still open to individuals, who can order up to three copies here.
