FROM SARAH:

This one is bound to be a Christmas classic for the ages. There is so much to love about the story and the lush, rich illustrations by P.J. Lynch. Full of symbolism and Christmas imagery. I own multiple copies of this book and won't let a Christmas pass without reading it.

FROM THE PUBLISHER:

Jonathan Toomey is the best woodcarver in the valley, but he is always alone and never smiles. No one knows about the mementos of his lost wife and child that he keeps in an unopened drawer. But one early winter’s day, a widow and her young son approach him with a gentle request that leads to a joyful miracle.

FROM SARAH:

A fun read-aloud for St. Patrick's Day. See if your library has it!

FROM THE PUBLISHER: 

Welcome to the rival towns of Tralee and Tralah, where the annual St. Patrick’s Day decorating contest is under way. Every year, Tralah defeats Tralee. This year, though, little Fiona Riley has a wonderful idea that will help Tralee win the contest for sure. But neither town has counted on a stranger arriving—a funny little man with pointed ears and boots trimmed with bells—who will turn the contest upside down!
