The classic Christmas tale in an elegant new vertical trim size, with completely new notes from the author and the illustrator and a CD narrated by James Earl Jones.

Jonathan Toomey is the best woodcarver in the valley, but he is always alone and never smiles. No one knows about the mementos of his lost wife and child that he keeps in an unopened drawer. But one early winter’s day, a widow and her young son approach him with a gentle request that leads to a joyful miracle. The moving, lyrical tale, gloriously illustrated by P.J. Lynch, has been widely hailed as a true Christmas classic.

Great Christmastime read for the entire family

Reviewed in the United States on November 16, 2017

Verified Purchase

Lovely book. Adults and kids alike will enjoy. A very clear heartwarming story that will bring out the Christmas spirit in any scrooge. Illustrations amazing as well. This reads like a classic story and utilizes real humanity , instead of a bunch of goofiness that so many children's books are these days. Extremely touching. I like the fact you can go online and livestream or download for free an audio soundtrack narrated by Darth Vader himself, James Earl Jones.

Breath taking story

Reviewed in the United States on October 13, 2019

Absolutely gorgeous book from the words to the illustrations! This is a beautifully written story about the meaning of life and finding joy when life has been taken away from you. The story even brought me to tears. I collect Christmas books to read to my children and this will become an all time favorite of mine. You don’t have to have lost someone to feel the raw emotion of giving love and hope during a season where those emotions are so abundant. For me, the illustrations are just as important as the words. If the pictures don’t hold up to the story it loses its finesse. I am no artist either this is just a personal expectation of mine! The pictures are beyond gorgeous and truly filled with emotion . I highly suggest this book!

Beautiful Christmas Story

Reviewed in the United States on January 24, 2017

I have started collected books on that point to the real meaning of Christmas so I can pull them out each year for my family and future grandkids. (I can dream.) This was one I chose this year to purchase after reading reviews. It is so precious and has already become one of my favorites. The illustrations are beautiful as is the story.

Exquisitely Beautiful -- How Grace and Hope Transforms

Reviewed in the United States on January 28, 2017

Verified Purchase

This book is astonishing in its ability to draw characters deeply and express excruciating pain and the incredible power of hope and healing. Very moving how the author shows what grace and patience can do for a person suffering. So much here it's difficult to describe. All of this is lifted to a level that even the most sensitive of children can be drawn to and moved by due to the skillful writing, the magnificent illustrations, and particularly through the lovely, eager, yet patient little boy who wishes to learn how to make something beautiful. Outstanding.

A tale of kindness

Reviewed in the United States on January 2, 2017

Verified Purchase

This is one of my favorite Christmas stories, right up there with Apple Tree Christmas, and Christmas in the Country. All three stories are gentle and beautifully told. Most of us have real sadnesses in our lives and the same was true for Jonathan Toomey. His recovery, as aided by the small boy, is an example of the gift of human kindness. In a world such as ours, kindness is a precious commodity. There is nothing of avarice, but an abundance of quiet kindness.

Formatting Horrible

Reviewed in the United States on December 4, 2016

Verified Purchase

I love this story. The pictures are breath taking. The problem I have with this book is the format. It is horrible. The print is way too small. Even on my newest Kindle with the triple zoom in feature (tap three times to zoom) it is way too small.

If you want to read this book and not buy the narration then just get the hard backed copy. This kindle is way too hard to read.

A Tale that Brings Tears to the Eyes of Children

Reviewed in the United States on January 2, 2020

Verified Purchase

I first read this book to my primary students, and, as we got to the end of the story, students were were so moved that they all began to sniffle and some began to cry. They couldn't believe the crusty Mr. Toomey had created something so exquisite, so loving, and shared his skill of wood-carving with the widow's son. The transformation was wonderful to gradually see unfold, and the true meaning of Christmas came through.

Love It!

My 6 yr old loves this book. It's her most requested Christmas story. Since I couldn't find a sample page prior to buying, I will add that it's longer than most children's stories. Sometimes I'll split it up over 2 nights. But it's a great story with beautiful illustrations!

Beautiful story and illustrations

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 21, 2018

Verified Purchase

This is my father's favorite children's book. The illustrations are exquisite and the story is quite touching, especially about recovering from loss and reconnecting with other people. Probably best started with children in early elementary school as younger children may not be patient enough to listen to the story yet. We were introduced to it one advent when it was chosen for the children's story (a quarter read each Sunday).

A wonderful Christmas story

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 27, 2016

A wonderful Christmas story! This is, now, among my favorite books, and at the top of my list for what I will read for stories that speak to the true meaning of Christmas. And, not only is it a well-written book, it is also a book with illustrations so vivid as to bring to life the very words of the story! All-in-all, a wonderful book that speaks to the power of love, at so many levels. Highly recommended!

Superb, amazing, brilliant! Buy this!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 20, 2008

Verified Purchase

This is an absolutely beautiful story book. The illustrations and story are above and beyond normal childrens books.

The story is ultimately uplifting and happy and deals with the 'human' side of Christmas magic. It's an embodiment of what Christmas is all about.

It's not a sentimental or mushy tale but it did make me cry (have a tissue ready if you're the type of personality who cried when Bambi's mum died).

I don't want to spoil the story but it deals with a lone Scrooge type character who rediscovers the joy of life at Christmas time with the help of people in similar circumstances.

This book would also be extremely useful for any child dealing with bereavement whether it's Christmas time or not.

Very Highly Recommended.
