The Snowman’s Song by Marilee Joy Mayfield & Tracy La Rue Hohn
All the little snowman wanted to do was go caroling over the holidays, just as a joyful child with a beautiful voice would. The little snowman, however, was silent because he was composed of snow. What will occur when he encounters a red cardinal who gives him hope that he, too, might hear voices? Children will be encouraged to believe in Christmas miracles by The Snowman’s Song. The ideal holiday book to encourage children to hold onto their ambitions and hope and never give up. To enjoy the perfect Christmas, the snowman wants to sing just one little note. However, nothing would come out of his icy, snow-covered throat. The red cardinal advises him to have a strong inner belief in his ability to sing before attempting to do so. The small snowman finds it challenging to believe in himself, but a young girl’s gesture of compassion encourages him to begin to think of himself as unique.
Little Red Sleigh by Erin Guendelsberger & Elizaveta Tretyakova
The Huge Red Sleigh of Santa Claus is Little Red Sleigh’s one and only big dream! She has been told she is too young, too small, can’t fly, and most definitely can’t meet Santa throughout her life. She has been made to think so little of herself. She intends to accomplish the impossible this Christmas with the aid of a few friends. You’ll want to read Little Red Sleigh, a touching children’s Christmas novel, again and over again. This endearing Christmas tale will remind readers of all ages that no dream is unattainable if you have faith. It is filled with winter joy and holiday magic.
