A Christmas read I recommend to all…
Overview:
Asa is spending his Christmas Eve like so many of us do–enjoying cookies, carols, and dreaming of presents awaiting him under the tree. But an accidental stumble into a world of vulnerable children leaves Asa with a new perspective and a mission to see the joy of Christmas experienced by everyone.

Special to me:
As someone who has spent a few Christmas in hospital not being able to eat I really loved seeing that community & Christmas captures.

Loved: 
The thoughtful representation of children with illness and disabilities it shows each person celebrating Christmas in their way including eating “green pea mash because he couldn’t safely swallow his Christmas treat stash.”

Ideal Reader:
Everyone. It’s a truly heartwarming inclusive read. Target age group is children & #62 on Amazon for Physically Disabled Education.
