Sarah's Sacrifice is a delightful short story that's perfect for the Christmas season. It clearly explains and shows love in action. Sarah learns how giving is just as fun as receiving, and how special 'sacrifice' is, tying it all back to the meaning of Christmas. I thought the mother's explanation of Santa Claus/gifting was especially clever, a very good way of helping a child understand that the number or cost of toys doesn't equate to how much that child is loved. Well done, I look forward to

Excellent Christmas reads. I read a number of them this year and this was my favorite. Great book to share with children about the meaning of giving and the blessing of sacrifice and giving.
