Eat, Read, and Be Mommy

Last night I finished reading Patricia MacLachlan’s The True Gift: A Christmas Story out loud to my 11-year-old, and it was a lovely seasonal offering. Short and poignant, like most of her books, True Gift is a story of a brother and sister, their grandparents, and one lonely cow. It can be read aloud in a sitting or two and understood by kindergarteners, I would think, so if you’re looking for something to enhance the spirit of your Christmas, this is a perfect choice. Happy reading!
