The Empty Hook is a beautifully illustrated story of a special gift given to a young boy and how he cherishes it through the rest of his years.
While I would have liked to see more effect of the repeated phrase that came with the gift within the boy's life as he grew, and also to know why he chose that one piece, I fully empathized with the attachment to such a gift, not because of the thing itself, but because of the meaning behind it. Our Christmas traditions matter more than only during Christmas, and this story brings that out in a very loving way.
