ECPA Christian Book Award Winner Discover a faith-centered Christmas tradition for your whole family with The Sparkle Box: a heartwarming story about the power of kindness to transform Christmas. Free Sparkle Box included with every book Sam is so excited about Christmas He's thinking about his Christmas list and puzzling over a mysterious gift-a sparkly box sitting on the mantel. As Sam and his family participate in holiday activities, they bless others with gifts from the heart: they give mittens to a homeless man, support a clean water charity, and donate blankets. When Sam finally opens the Sparkle Box on Christmas morning, he finds slips of paper that say things like "mittens for those in need." His smiling parents explain that the papers in the box represent the family's gifts to Jesus that year. Now in paperback, this heartfelt story will inspire readers to adopt this faith-centered tradition in their own homes, using the included Sparkle Box.
This is an excellent way to help bring meaning back to the craziness Christmas can often become. I cry every time I read this. It is one way I try to help my kids to get the message of what Christmas is really about. The Sparkle Box under your tree or on the mantel is a great reminder (if you don't know, inside the Sparkle Box are slips of paper, written with the acts of kindness you did leading up to Christmas to then give to Jesus on his birthday). Wonderful illustrations. Lots of care put into the words and this message.
