About the book:
Sam can’t wait
for Christmas! He’s excited about the parties, the food, and, of course, the
presents. One gift has him especially curious – a sparkling silver box on the
mantel. Sam’s parents will only tell him that the Sparkle Box is a special gift
they will open together, but that they need to fill it first. Meanwhile, as Sam
and his family give to people in need throughout the season, he starts to see
how fortunate he really is. And on Christmas morning, when Sam finally opens
the mysterious Sparkle Box, what he finds inside sheds light on the true
meaning of Christmas.
My review:
This is a
delightful children’s book.
The story is very simple and a wonderful
reminder as to one of the biggest joys of Christmastime. In my mind that is being
able to bless others. I love the way that the parents teach their son through
example and then let him figure out how much joy it brings himself.
The illustrations
are beautifully done. They are very crisp and clear.
