Description
Join Little Squirrel as he discovers the true gift of Christmas! Little Squirrel is excited for the Christmas season, but he begins to wonder if he's been a good enough squirrel to deserve the presents and treats he hopes for on Christmas morning. He decides to do one kind or helpful thing every day leading up to Christmas. Things are going well and Little Squirrel is finding lots of ways to help his fellow woodland creatures. But when he makes a big mistake on the day before Christmas, he feels like a total failure. In the midst of his misery, Mama Squirrel has good news. She reminds him that Christmas is not about being "good enough." Jesus's love is a free gift and we can never earn it, no matter how hard we try! Slowly, Little Squirrel begins to grasp the true joy and wonder of God's abundant grace. God's Gift of Christmas is the latest addition to the heartwarming Forest of Faith storybook series, including A Birthday Party for Jesus, Everyone Is Invited to Christmas, Christmas Tree for Jesus, Christmas Journey for Jesus, An Easter Basket Filled with Love, and God's Love Is a Warm Cookie.

"God's Gift of Christmas is a sweet picture book with all the feels. From the adorable woodland creatures to the precious story, parents and children alike will reach for this holiday story again and again. As readers follow Little Squirrel's quest to be extra good leading up to Christmas in hopes of earning more Christmas presents, he learns that no one is perfect, and that God's love isn't earned--it's freely given! And he discovers that being kind to others isn't just for Christmastime, but something we should share every day. What a powerful message to plant in children's hearts! Can't wait to share this adorable book with all of the littles in my world." --Michelle Medlock Adams, Award-winning author of more than 100 books, including Dachshund Through the Snow and What Is Christmas?
