 Beautiful and Sad January 13, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This beautiful and sad picture book is about a family whose mother has died. The mother had been the one to provide the spirit of Christmas for the family. In their new location, the family didn't have a church or typical supports in their Michigan home. Finally the family came together to celebrate Christmas. Some children experience great sadness at Christmas time and the book could help facilitate discussion about celebrations when there is no father, a mother was in prison, or family members located in a distance land. This book might work well to prompt discussion about how the sadness with memories is okay, and children can take steps to make ourselves feel better. The time period and simplicity of the story would work in a historical unit.
 Incorrect description January 16, 2007

The Booklist description listed above is incorrect, please use the card catalog one when deciding if this would be interesting to your child.
Insofar as the book itself, the illustrations are cute, though the story is pat and unfulfilling to an older reader. If your child is an advanced reader I'd recommend purchasing for The Five Little Peppers instead.
