Peace on Earth: A Christmas Collection by Mary Engelbreit is a beautifully illustrated picture book that includes a variety of poems, readings and Christmas songs. There are current and contemporary writings included, as well as older poems and songs that capture the true meaning of Christmas. It contains a nice mix of well known and maybe not so familiar songs and writings about Christmas.
The illustrations are really something special, and my children love to snuggle up on the couch with this book after supper together and read through it and sing the songs together. It helps to have a book like this to re-focus on the importance of Christ as the centre of Christmas. Even though it is a children's book, I think it has an appeal that would stretch far beyond childhood. I can see how this would be a book that would actually appeal very much to those blessed with long life as it could bring back some great memories of Christmas' gone by.
