Silent Night
Long ago, in the Church of St Nicholas in Oberndorf in Austria, Joseph Mohr wrote the words to the Christmas carol, 'Silent Night'. The music was composed by his friend Franz Gruber, to be played on a guitar... because mice had eaten through the organ bellows! This is the beautiful story of the mice that inspired the writing and singing of the famous song, imaginatively told by Vicki Howie and illustrated in a way that will delight young children by Hungarian-born Kriszta Nagy Kallai.
Silent Night is ideal for Children ages 5-7. It also makes an ideal gift from parents, grandparents or godparents, or as a gift or prize from church or Sunday School.
Vicki Howie has written collections of children's plays, songs, mimes and crafts as well as a number of books. She runs workshops on children's evangelism and is the Publicity Officer in her local church. She lives in the south of England with her husband and two teenage children. Krisztina Kallai Nagy has her own design and illustration business and loves illustrating children's books.
