This is the story of a slow and beautiful return of a man from anger, pain, and hurt to gentleness, joy, and hope. Have tissues nearby

Kate Greenaway Medal - Published October 2nd of 1995. In this book, a little boy lost a nativity set from his grandfather and has a person helping him find it or replace it with a new one. Memories are shared and I really like this book because its heart warming!

Very sweet Christmas story narrated by James Earl Jones.

#WinterWonderland Day 25: #HappyXmasWarIsOver reminded me of this gorgeous book which happens to be a poignant tale of deliverance. Jonathan Toomey is called Gloomy Toomey bec of his dour disposition and the darkness that seems to surround him. Things started to change for Gloomy Toomey when there was a knock on his door one winter morning. Whether this means #WarIsOver I shall leave for you to discover. My review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-t0

Wow, what a beautiful story. I read it with my kids. They were pretty into it, though it is quite long for a 4&6 year old to sit and listen to....especially when they're waiting for their dessert.

The art alone will fill you ❤️

"So Jonathan Toomey packed his belongings into a wagon and traveled till his tears stopped"

First time to read this Christmas tale.
