THE Gift

About the Book

When a great darkness comes over a valley, a family of field mice work extra hard on Christmas gifts for each other to restore some holiday cheer.

THE Gift teaches children that some gifts are more precious than things we can physically touch. Love for each other is the most important gift we can share, and it reminds us that as long as we have love, we are never truly alone.
