Just lovely. Listened as I was wrapping presents this Christmas weekend. And it gently reminded me of the true gifts and joys that are the true meaning of Christmas. God bless the readers! Happy Christmas, everyone!
very touching

If you like story’s with sad endings this one is for you, even if you are not a fan of sad story’s I still sagest this book. The readers did really really well and I wish Missie would read more books.

A wonderful, loving, & heartwarming story! It's not very religious so everyone can enjoy it. It gets sad at the end but you're still left feeling good. Everyone should hear this no matter the age.
