Description
Kids don't need to be told that Christmas "counts." They are generally tuned in to the excitement and anticipation! And yet, children can be among the first to forget what it is about the season that really counts. Much of this may have to do with what our culture-and we ourselves-teach and practice. This little illustrated book communicates a message about making Christmas count in all its facets and flavors; it is a book about recognizing the deepest "reasons for the season."
