Step into a winter wonderland filled with beautiful artwork of woodland animals and flower crowns as you celebrate the true meaning of Christmas with your little ones. Merry Christmas, My Darling Dear follows a baby and mama deer who discover that Christmas festivities, decorations, and presents are reminders of the greatest gift of all—the birth of God’s Son.

When you string lights on your tree, remember Jesus, the Light of the World. And when you watch snow falling gently down, remember God sent His Son down to earth to be with us. Let each gift you give be a reminder of the greatest gift, the gift of our Saviour. This baby and mama deer delight over each Christmasy moment as they wander through the snowy forest, enjoy Christmas activities, and encounter a beautiful church and its nativity scene.

Filled with whimsical illustrations from beloved author and artist Amy Kavelaris, this picture book:

  • is for ages 4 to 8;
  • shows the value in Christmas festivities and how they point to the true reason for Christmas, the celebration of Jesus’ birth; and
  • is a great gift for Christmas and Advent as well as baby showers during the Christmas season.

See the wonder of the Christmas season through your child’s eyes as you teach them that each moment is a celebration of God’s Son.
