The Legend of St. Nicholas is filled with beautiful artwork and tells the story of a young man named Nicholas, who was moved by the plight of the poor and needy. I've taught my children who Santa Claus really was since they were tiny. Whether your kiddos believe in Santa or not, this is a wonderful, magical story about the real Nicholas who spent his life secretly helping the poor all over the world, giving gifts on Christmas Eve to remind people of the greatest Gift of all, Jesus Christ.
I love this book! It's by one of our favorite authors, Dandi Daley Mackall (check out her books on Amazon! She has so many great reads for kiddos from birth to middle school ages). But back to the book at hand! The Legend of St. Nicholas make a wonderful pre-Christmas or even Christmas gift. It would also be the perfect addition to a church preschool. I'll be donating ours to that cause. This gentle Christmas book introduces the original St. Nicholas and offers inspiration for readers to become cheerful givers themselves. The final pages in the book include fun Father Christmas traditions in other lands.
Special thanks to the wonderful people at BookLook for providing us with this book to review!
This sounds like a wonderful book to teach about the spirit of giving.
