- Synopsis
- This is a book about how Christmas feels to different kinds of people. What kind of man lives alone in a house in the middle of hundreds of Christmas trees? Where does a sick lady with her three dogs, who can't read, go on Christmas eve? Will a lost cat have any luck finding a home with the four people inside a diner on the night before Christmas? There's a story about how a little boy gives a family to his Grandfather, about a boy who hopes every year the Christmas train will bring him a toy doctor kit and about how a girl walking dangerously in New York traffic gathers in a whole Christmas dream from a handful of kind words. These are short stories that get to the heart of Christmas in very American ways. Reading about how Christmas feels to others may inspire you to think about how you'd like to make Christmas meaningful and happy for yourself, and about how Christmas touches you and people you don't even know. This is a book of short stories for middle grade children to read for themselves or for friends and family to read and talk about together.
