About This Book
A parent might reach for this book to gently shift a child's holiday focus from receiving presents to the joy of giving. This beautifully illustrated story follows Little Miss Spider, who is granted a single Christmas wish. She plans to wish for a special gift for her mother, but when she encounters a cold and lonely cricket, she must make a choice. The story sweetly explores themes of empathy, selflessness, and the happiness that comes from helping others. Its gentle tone and magical, nature-based setting make it a perfect, non-religious holiday read for preschoolers and early elementary children.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
This book contains no significant sensitive topics. The Christmas theme is presented in a secular context, focusing on wishes, stars, and the spirit of giving rather than any religious elements. The cricket's loneliness is mild and resolved very quickly and hopefully.
