The very essence of Christmas - with its lovely sense of giving and sharing, its joys of song and prayer and festivity, its treasured reunions with family and friends, its gift of hope and its promise of peace - is caught in this enchanting and gentle little book. With the simplicity and sensivity that characterize all her work, Joan Walsh Anglund conveys in words and pictures the essential spirit of this blessed season of the year.

Once sent to a German penpal as a little present, this nice little book now, 40 years later, returns to USA .

I found this book in a public bookcase and now it will hopefully bring some joy as accessory book within Christmas ornament exchange 2017.

I'd be glad to follow up your further journey, so please, little book, give a shout from time to time!

Thank you for the book Florinda-bs it looks adorable and I can't wait to sit down, with a blanket and some hot coco and read it!
