This story is such a delight to read! I love each of the children who work so hard to help their mother who has to go out at night to clean, and who take care of one another. I enjoyed the stories they tell each other as they work together creating decorations for their Christmas tree. Each child is different. Their neighbors are special too.
The setting of a New York flat in 1901 is different and adds a unique flavor for the story.

In the back of the book the author gives a little background about the story which is based on real events.
