Reach for this book when you want to shift the holiday focus from getting presents to the quiet joy of giving and empathy. Through the lovable and slightly literal-minded Dragon, children learn that being kind to others feels better than having the perfect decorations or the fanciest toys. This is a gentle, secular holiday story that celebrates the true spirit of the season through simple acts of compassion. The story follows Dragon as he navigates several Christmas tasks with a heart that is far bigger than his logic. He decides not to cut down a tree because he wants it to keep living, and he eventually gives away all his own gifts to animals who have less than he does. It is a perfect fit for preschoolers and early elementary students, providing a low-stakes yet meaningful way to talk about generosity and thinking of others' needs before our own.
