Reach for this book when the holiday 'gimmies' have taken over and your child's Christmas list is becoming a source of stress rather than excitement.

It is a perfect choice for parents wanting to model gratitude and a shift from materialism to presence. Best for ages 4 to 8, Mary Engelbreit's signature cozy illustrations provide a comforting backdrop for a gentle lesson on what truly makes a season magical.
