Two Nativities for Emilee

About the Book

This book covers the Christmas story with illustrations intended for children. It covers about two years of the history of the birth of our Christ, Jesus. It could be used as a coloring book if it were to be done in black and white, but I contracted for colored edition.

About the Author

Carol Ann Sanderson Born: May 29, 1943 Oldest daughter of a farmer, Frank Wilber, and his wife, Kathryn, in the valley south of Seattle. They had left college to care for and harvest the farms owned by Japanese when they were interned in camps. My father told me stories of the times on the farm whenever we needed to kill time. His mother, who was a pioneer in elementary education in a school in Sequim, Washington, was the one I remember telling me the Christmas story first. Then I heard it in church every Christmas for the next ten years. I was an angel in the school Christmas play when I was six years old. I survived Guillain-Barré syndrome in 1955. It goes active a few times each year. I was quadriplegic at age twelve. I was to die according to the doctors. (God had other plans.) I graduated from Auburn High School in June 1961 and from Edison Technical and Vocational School in Seattle in June 1963. In 1963 I attended Universidad International in Saltillo, Cohillo, Mexico, for the summer quarter. I attended Seattle Pacific College from 1963 to 1966. I married a man who accepted that I love children and art. I must thank him for letting me do this and the hours I volunteer in my community. I was an in-home party plan salesperson for a number of businesses. My major work was as a medical assistant in nursing homes and later in in-home health care. Most of my clients were terminally ill, paralyzed, or aged. I was terminated when I became disabled. Now, I volunteer as an art docent in my granddaughter’s third-grade class. I am a painter and sketcher also.
