There are many wonderful childrens picture books about Christmas, but few about the season of Advent. In The World Waits, Elizabeth Pham explores this period of anticipation through the eyes of an anthropomorphic Earth experiencing the progression of human history and its longing for a Messiah.We see the world first plunged in the darkness of preChristian times. Then we see the world uplifted by the coming of Christ (the world sees a star!). Then we see the world cycle through the postChristian era, when Christ seems perhaps more elusive and mysterious than ever (the star left almost as quickly as it came). But then, with the conclusion of the book, we see that the world has not given up hope the world still waits. We wait for Jesus coming at Christmas each year, we wait for His coming in the Blessed Sacrament during Mass, we wait for His coming at the end of time, and we wait for His coming into our hearts in all seasons and situations.Jen Olsens illustrations beautifully evoke this sense of joyful anticipation. With picture references from Noahs Ark to the Star of Bethlehem to the tabernacle on the altar, we are reminded of Gods hand in all of history, guiding us through the darkness and on toward the light.We hope this book will be a little light for your family during this Advent season!
