Type: short chapter book

Beautifully written, this book is certain to remind readers of the true meaning of Christmas (not in very many details, but it makes the point). Additionally, there are examples of compassion, patience, kindness, responsibility and creativity! 

Though it’s not only about Christmas, the holiday is certainly a theme. Plus, it’s set in December. So, to me, it’s a Christmas book!

Officially, it’s for ages 8-12, but I believe most any age could get something out of it (including adults!).
