Loved loved loved this story! I was in the mood to read a short story and I stumbled upon this book on Amazon. It was the best decision ever. I suggest not reading the synopsis or reviews, believe me just read it and you won’t regret. It’s only 30-something pages. My mom read this book as a kid and it’s mommy approved too!

A gift to Maddie and me from the Julian family.

I wish more of our Christmas books had inscriptions from gift givers.
