This book was cute! It was longer than I expected, but a cute story about the beginning of the candy cane. It is a religious story, so that definitely is a big deal for some people when choosing to read books. If you are really religious, you will probably love this book for your kids. If you aren’t very religious or are not religious at all, you might want to skip this one.

This is a gorgeous book, a wonderful story, and a strong sense of atmosphere. One of my all-time favourites since childhood and it holds up!

I like this book. Its message is very spelled-out and clear, carefully explaining everything with churchy lingo, but it makes subtle connections too. For example, John Sonneman has a beard, does carpentry, invites people into his shop to celebrate with him, etc. Anyways, this is a nice story to explain the symbolism of the candy cane, and in the back it explains how the candy cane came into being.

We at The Literature Ladies cherish this story for both the childhood memory it is to us and for the bigger story it tells: our hope is found in the blood of Jesus, who came to earth as a baby and died on a cross to reunite us before God. To us, that reunion and restoration is the very best Christmas gift of all.

I had no idea about the origins of the candy cane and how it was developed to be a Christmas treat! This is a cute children’s picture book that incorporates the meaning behind the classic red and white striped candy cane.

Er... The pictures are very beautiful, and the story... well... er... Let's say it's too Christian to me, but if you are very Christian, you probably love it.
