The Light of Christmas

Overview

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Christmas Box and The Mistletoe Promise comes a picture book about a boy who learns a lesson about the true meaning of Christmas. This holiday classic has been given a new cover and format—perfect for gift-giving.

High in the mountains lies the town of Noel, surrounded by beautiful white walls and a great silver gate. Every year Alexander and his mother walk the long distance to Noel to watch the lighting of the village Christmas tree. This year Alexander learns that the Keeper of the Flame will choose the person who has given the truest gift of Christmas to light the Flame. On his way to Noel, Alexander helps a poor old man he finds lying in the snow. His act of charity is rewarded, and Alexander learns that it isn’t what you have to give, but how you give of yourself that matters most.

Master storyteller Richard Paul Evans shares a heartwarming tale of the true meaning of Christmas spirit.

Personal Response:I collect Christmas books so I am always on the lookout for a new one to add to my collection. This is one I will definitely be adding. Richard Paul Evens is also one of my favorite author's so that is another reason I was drawn to this book. I really like the message of how important it is to reach out an help others. In doing so we help ourselves.Curricular Connections:I would use this as a read-aloud for story time.

Santa is really a "Wise Man" in this story, and it's a wonderful way to teach your children the true meaning of the season. We'll be opening this one before Christmas morning. I also loved the lush, beautiful illustrations.
