How Six Found Christmas

Reach for this book when the holiday season feels overwhelmed by lists and labels, and you want to reconnect with the pure, sensory magic of discovery. This classic story follows a young girl who has heard of Christmas but has no idea what it actually is. She sets out into the Great Snow Forest on a quest to find it, picking up a band of animal companions along the way who are just as curious as she is. It is a gentle, atmospheric journey that strips away the commercial noise to find the heart of the holiday in nature and friendship. Trina Schart Hyman’s exquisite illustrations bring a folkloric depth to this simple tale of teamwork and wonder. Ideal for children aged 4 to 9, it serves as a beautiful reminder that the best things in life aren't things at all, but moments of shared discovery. Parents will appreciate the secular, wonder-based approach that makes the 'magic' of Christmas accessible to everyone through a lens of curiosity rather than expectation.
