The Legend of the Christmas Cookie made it into our 25 Days of Book lineup which I’m sure isn’t a surprise to anyone that has read this beautiful Christmas story. This story shows us what Christmas is supposed to be about. First and foremost it’s the celebration of the birth of Jesus, but let’s not also forget that it’s about loving and helping our neighbors.
About the book:
The Legend of the Christmas Cookie tells the story of a young boy named Jack who learns from his generous mother the story behind the Christmas cookie. The family who began the tradition of baking the special cookies gave them to the needy and shared the story of the very first Christmas. This sweet holiday book offers inspiration for readers to become cheerful givers themselves and encourages them to share the true tale of Jesus’ birth. A delicious recipe is included on the jacket flap so readers can make their own Christmas sugar cookies.
Dandi Daley Mackall is the author of over 450 books. She still can’t believe she gets to write for a living, helping children of all ages grow spiritually. Dandi and her husband, Joe, both write from rural Ohio, where they’re blessed with three children and a variety of horses, dogs, and cats.
Our Thoughts:
This beautifully illustrated Christmas story is one that my children love. It helps to show children what Christmas should really be about. Sure it’s fun to talk about Santa and to give gifts, but it’s also important to us as a family that they know exactly why we truly celebrate Christmas. It also tells them the history of the Christmas cookie and how kindness can make a heart happy, no matter how small. This is a book that will be ready for many years in our home.
