About This Book
Reach for this book when the holiday 'gimmies' have taken over and your child's Christmas list is becoming a source of stress rather than excitement. While Ann Estelle starts the season obsessed with becoming the Queen of Christmas by securing every toy on her massive list, the story follows her realization that the best parts of the holiday are actually the traditions, the baking, and the time spent with her family. It is a perfect choice for parents wanting to model gratitude and a shift from materialism to presence. Best for ages 4 to 8, Mary Engelbreit's signature cozy illustrations provide a comforting backdrop for a gentle lesson on what truly makes a season magical.
