Nora Noel's father tells her the story of how the whole family looked forward to her arrival and how they celebrated her birth as their own Christmas baby. For children ages 4-10, "Waiting for Noel" is intended to help children understand the season of Advent as a joyful time of anticipation and preparation. As Noel's family lights each Advent candle, they celebrate God's gifts of hope, peace, joy, faith and love. Illustrations.
