4.0

A lesson in selflessness and the true spirit of the season! While shopping for his younger brothers, Nick overhears the department store Santa talking to some kids about the legend of St. Nicholas and how his story began. The story describes how after the tragic loss of his parents, Nicholas began his quest (through prayer and God's help) to be a beacon of giving and hope for the season. He uses his money to help his friends with their needs. Meanwhile, back in the department store, Nick is reminded about the true meaning of giving, and decides to buy toys for those less fortunate with his leftover money rather than himself.
This was a beautiful story to share with my family this Christmas season. Merry Christmas everyone!

This book may not be especially historically correct, but the message is true and good and the artwork is eye-catching.
