Christmas is my favorite holiday . This magical holiday brings joy to my heart, and this year I am especially happy to have read two great books about the true meaning of Christmas. See my reviews below! Happy holidays to all!
A
Christmas Kindness, by author C.C. Gevry, brought tears to my eyes. This story
touched me in so many ways because it is a story that chronicles what Christmas
is all about.
Unfortunately,
current culture has turned Christmas into a money making machine, but A
Christmas Kindness will remind the reader that Christmas is more about giving
than receiving.
Eight-year-old
Robert arrives in the mall with his mom to tell Santa what’s on his list, but
have a life changing experience when he meets a boy named Glenn.
Robert’s
change of heart and actions demonstrate that a child is capable of making
decisions that will make his/her parents very proud. It brings to mind that children often model
what they learn from an adult, and we should be careful with our actions.
Caroline
Mahey’s vivid illustrations help bring the characters to life. A Christmas Kindness will make a great
stocking stuffer. This delightful story
can be a great resource when teaching young children about the true meaning of
Christmas. It should be a part of every
school and church library.

Little
Shepherd written by author Cheryl C. Malandrinos is a great retelling of Luke
2:8-16. Five-year-old Obed has the honor of hearing about the Savior’s
birth. The Angels came with the
outstanding message to send the shepherds to see the newborn baby, but Obed is
having second thoughts because he does not want to abandon his sheep.
This
well written story is a must read in all homes as it can teach young children
about responsibility and obedience.
I
love the underlying message that one always benefits when you trust God. Through trust and obedience Obed was able to
experience first-hand how God can bring about miracles even in difficult
situations.
This
delightful book will be a great addition to any church library.
