Synopsis

Who says all those "begats" in the first chapter of Matthew aren't fun to read? Kids and parents will have fun reading and singing along with this joyful Andrew Peterson song. The lyrics tell not only of the Biblical list of relatives, but for the first time, kids will learn why the "begats" are extremely important. This story and song demonstrate that Abraham's long lineage lead directly to the most important Bible character ever . . . Jesus Christ.

This special book bridges the Old Testament and New Testament, showing Jesus' birth as part of God's plan from the very beginning.  Interesting "Did You Know?" elements featured throughout the book to give kids fun facts about this Unlikely Royal Family Tree.

About this title

About the Author

Andrew Peterson's love for storytelling is a vital part of his life. If he's not huddled down flipping pages for his young sons Aedan and Jesse and their little sister, Skye, then he's out on the edge of a stage, spinning tales as one of today's most prolific songwriters. Peterson invites us on yet another journey to someplace unexpected. Peterson's keen eye for lyrical detail and endearing sincerity with his listeners often draw comparisons to Rich Mullins. He contends. "My hope is that my music captures a hint of the beauty of God's story."
