My thoughts:
I really liked how positive this book was. It’s full of positive uplifting stories to help us celebrate and remember the true meaning of this most glorious time of year. I’ve enjoyed reading this book outloud as a family. My youngest children don’t understand or glean a lot from some of the stories, but the older ones do. It’s a great thing to read aloud during a meal and then encourage discussion about.
I highly recommend using this as an alternative to Advent or alongside Advent for a new tradition. Growing up I did not do Advent but I’ve enjoyed learning about it with my children and watching them learn and grow during this season. This book shall remain on my shelf to be used over and over again.
