    About this audiobook

    A celebration of the most magical holiday of the year, by the incomparable bestselling author Nancy Tillman.

    Bells jingle, sleds dash through the snow, trees are topped with sparkling stars, and children everywhere dream of candy canes and presents. But the best gift of all—the most magical gift of the season—is when we spend Christmas with those we love.

    Once again, this New York Times-bestselling author and artist has created a special, beautiful story that families will want to share year after year.

    • 5/5
      This is a favorite Christmas read for my kiddo.
    • 3/5
      As the story unfolds its message of the love being the most important gift of Christmas, readers will enjoy spotting more tangible symbols such as a toy soldier, a frozen tree decorated with peppermints, and the cast of the Twelve Days of Christmas.
