An excellent book about giving. It’s not how much you give, but it’s how you give it. Intent, purpose….my children love this story. It’s become a Christmas Classic.

This is a lovely book written about the true meaning at the heart of most of our Winter holidays. It refers to Christmas but the moral is that of giving of oneself & putting others & what is right first. I work at a Unitarian Universalist Church & was pleased to read this to our students as the symbolism of the torch lighting is reminiscent of our flaming chalice.

This is an incredible children’s book! It is one of my all-time favorite (top 5)! It is about the ‘true gift – the gift of self’. I occasionally give this gift to someone who serves others selflessly. I have also given this book to each of my children and to many close friends. It is a must-have!
