This review is from: A Gift for the Christ Child (Hardcover)

Linda Schlafer's entertaining text and Anne Wilson's marvelous artistry present young readers ages 4 to 8 with a South American Christmas folktale in A Gift For The Christ Child. Children receive a heartwarming message about the importance of giving as two young boys journey from their modest home in the mountains to the big church in town to make a family Christmas offering. Along the way the boys must be brave, resourceful, and unselfish as they encounter an older woman in need. A Gift For The Christ Child is ideal for Christmas season celebration and rewarding, entertaining reading all year 'round.
