Reviews

[Lisa Plunkett]

My grandma introduced this book to me and it’s free through public domain. I read this to my kids on Christmas Eve every year. It’s the sweetest short story about a little Jewish girl who wants Santy Clause to come down her “chimbley.” Her two best friends are next door neighbors, one who is. Christian Scientist and the other who is a Catholic. The two friends baptize her, teach her to use rosary beads and help her write letters to Santa begging him to visit her house too. This is just a wonderful picture of people who can love each other despite religious differences. This story is so precious!
