Sam is so excited about Christmas! He's thinking about what to put on his Christmas list, anticipating holiday parties and puzzling over one very mysterious gift – a sparkly box sitting on the mantel above the fireplace. Written by Jill Hardie and brought to life by the rich illustrations of Christine Kornacki, The Sparkle Box is a heartfelt Christmas story that celebrates the beauty and excitement of the Christmas season, while gently bringing the true meaning of Christmas into focus through a story that features a powerful Christmas tradition. Children and adults of all ages will be captivated by The Sparkle Box and forever changed when they discover the Sparkle Box is a gift that honors Jesus on his birthday. Readers moved to adopt this faith-centered Christmas tradition in their homes can put a Sparkle Box, included with the book, under their own Christmas tree.
MY THOUGHTS:
I absolutely loved this book. The illustrations are beautifully done and very engaging. I love that the main character gets so excited about his mystery gift only to learn that it was the selfless acts of services that he did that went in this box. It was his way of giving a gift back to Jesus. It's such a neat way to explain to children that when you serve others, it's a way to serve God. It's tangible and something they can get excited about!
