Silent Night Holy Night: The Story Behind Our Favourite Christmas Carol

Author: Myrna Strasser

This charming story begins when Grandpa Strasser tells his grandchildren the story of how the Strasser family helped make ‘Silent Night’ one of the most famous Christmas songs in history. Originally written as a poem inspired by a tender scene of a mother and child and a pastor’s devotion to Jesus Christ, ‘Silent Night’ has become a lasting traditional Christmas song celebrating Christ’s birth. Shortly after music was written for the poem, the Strasser family began singing the song all over Germany. They were even invited to sing it before the King of Prussia. Children of all ages will gain a new love for a traditional favorite in this book filled with beautiful illustrations by Guy Porfirio.
