Product Description
Jack helps his mother bake special Christmas cookies and learns about how people long ago used Christmas cookies to tell others the story of Jesus’ birth. This story inspires families to share this important tradition with others.
My Review: This is a great book for reminding your children of the real meaning of Christmas and being more “others-centered.” The story takes place during the great depression. With economic times the way they are today, I would say many children could relate to the story. Children could also relate to the feelings Jack has during the story – he misses his dad and wants to keep the cookies for himself. The story is simple and to the point. The illustrator, Deborah Chabrian added beautiful illustrations. The author even provided a cookie recipe at the end of the book, similar to the one used in the story. The book ends on a positive note. This book is a great children’s book for the holidays!
