I really love this book. It’s short, sweet, and has a depth you don’t always find in children’s Christmas stories. Gabriel’s nervousness and bravery feel relatable for kids, and the faith message is clear without being preachy. The story opened up an easy conversation about courage and why we celebrate Christmas in the first place. This will be a yearly read for us.
