🎄🥾The Remarkable Christmas of the Cobbler’s Sons by Ruth Sawyer Illustrated by Barbara Cooney 👞🎄 👞🎄🥾 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I found this in January at Goodwill for $.50!! I’ve been holding onto it all year to read with the boys. It’s a story set in Austria, by publication date, I’m thinking the story takes place in the 1940s but I could be wrong. It’s about a cobbler and his three sons and how when the war came they barely had anything to eat. When the father leaves to try to find work from the soldiers a goblin visits them... I’ll leave the rest for you. As always, I love Clooney’s illustrations and the story is really good in that it teaches the boys about other boys and that Christmas isn’t always about the newest toys, etc. It’s a keeper in this house. 💗🏔
