Zondervan has released a traditional Christmas carol “The Friendly Beasts” now complete with narration and songs by Rebecca St. James.
The Grammy Award-winning singer accentuates the story’s theme and also illuminates the lyrics of the traditional carol that goes along with the tale.
The beloved Christmas story follows the perspective of five different animals during the birth of Jesus Christ. Taking place in a beautiful nativity scene, the contributions of a cow, a sheep, a camel, donkey, and a dove are detailed.
The gifts from the loving and “friendly beasts” are sure to warm hearts and inspire children with powerful images of the biblical event.
“I really hope kids who listen to this song and read this book can picture and understand what was happening around Jesus when he was born,” said St. James in a press release.
“It’s such a beautiful scene with Mary, Joseph, and the animals surrounding Jesus, celebrating him. Along with the illustrations, I think the song, the words, and the book really give you that visual picture of what it was like when Jesus was born. It’s a very beautiful, very heartwarming sight.”
