This book is a great tool for teaching our children about why we give, not only at Christmas time, but all the rest of the year too! In the book we meet several children, all answering questions about why and what and how they give. They don't just talk about giving material gifts either, (although that is mentioned, of course). I like what little Diego says, "Right now I am little and do not have much. But what I have I will share with others because I know that God will be pleased." Michael says, "When I give gifts at Christmas time and throughout the year, I will not only give stuff but I will give my time as well." Such a nicely balanced look at giving!
