Our Thoughts

This book is amazing. The pictures are colorful and the message is perfect. This is going to be one of our new holiday book traditions. It is on the longer side but my three and six year old did just fine listening. They loved Ava and her desire to help everyone and save Christmas. I love stories of selflessness and this is perfect for this time of year.
