The Perfect Christmas Present

In her latest Christmas story for young children, Alexa Tewkesbury introduces us to Small, a little bristly shrew, who is unhappy about being woken from his sleep by the bright light of a dazzling new star. On finding out from a giant tortoise that the star is announcing the birth of God s Son on earth, Small rushes off to find a suitable present to take to the baby. Should it be a red berry, a sleek feather or a creamy shell? None seems adequate or good enough to give to God. Then the giant tortoise reassures the little shrew that none of these is necessary. The best possible present Small can give to God s Son is himself and his love. With imaginative, descriptive text and delightful illustrations by Hannah Wood, this charming children s story brings a life-changing message
