About this book
An anxious discussion about whether Santa Claus can find their new country home draws Rebecca, Joshua and Newton into a larger conversation about giving. Their mother, Mrs. Payson, connects a happy Christmas with kind thoughts and practical help for others. The children consider toys, shoes and other gifts for families facing hardship, learning that the spirit in which a present is offered matters as much as the present itself.
June Isle builds these lessons through family dialogue and examples suited to young readers. In the account of Fritz, basket making becomes a way for a boy to earn money for people in need, and a skill he can pass on. Religious teaching gives the stories their moral framework, while familiar objects make generosity easy to picture. The book offers readers of older children's fiction a view of Christmas customs, parental guidance and the belief that useful work can bring happiness.
