"Finding Christmas" is a heartwarming tale that captures the very essence of the Christmas spirit. This story is about the forming of family bonds among a dissimilar group of animals during the Christmas season. In doing this, they give each other the best holiday gift one could ever receive: a feeling of kinship that will last forever. Beautiful writing and adorable illustrations! 5 out of 5 stars.
