The next animated christmas special needs to be made from this book. Hear that @Netflix. This book. The story has heart. A little boy accidentally breaks a very special christmas ornament and learns that bigger isn‘t always better. Loved the story and loved the artwork.

Such a sweet story! I highly recommend adding this to your holiday reads, especially if you read with your little ones, or like me you just love the childlike wonderment of this time of year. 😍

A broken ornament leads to a reminder of why Christmas memories are cherished.

Ugh! This story is so shallow! Basically, some spoiled brat wants everything for a superficial Christmas and accidentally breaks a family heirloom-the ornament. A naive fairy teaches him the Cliff's Notes version of kindness and compassion and suddenly the readers are to believe he's changed. Yeah, that works! Yes, kids, just say you're grateful and you'll get everything you wanted in the end. *groan*
