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

#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

Tamra This is a really beautiful picture book! 6y

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.
