Rocking Horse Christmas

Reach for this book when your child is on the cusp of growing up and you are both feeling the bittersweet tug of leaving early childhood behind. It is a perfect selection for families preparing to move, clean out a playroom, or navigate the transition from being a little kid to a big kid. The story follows a beloved rocking horse from its first Christmas as a cherished toy through years of imaginary adventures, into the dusty loneliness of an attic, and finally to a joyful rebirth with a new generation. It beautifully balances themes of loyalty, the passage of time, and the enduring nature of love. This gentle narrative helps children process the idea that even when we outgrow things, the memories and love we shared with them remain valuable. It is a soothing, nostalgic read for children ages 4 to 8 who are learning how to say goodbye to one stage of life while welcoming the next.
