I received a copy of this book in exchange for a review.
The Legend of the Christmas Cookie was written by Dandy Daley Mackall and illustrated by Richard Cowdrey. The story is about a little boy who is missing his dad who is away working. His mom bakes cookies for a local church in need. While she is baking she explains the story of the first Christmas cookies. She explains how a family from long ago wanted to spread the true meaning of Christmas. However, they didn't have alot of money. They made molds out of wood and filled them with dough and baked them. Christmas Eve they went to town to tell the Christmas story.
Now Jack's mother was baking cookies for a family in need, when he felt needy as he missed his dad. This act of kindness Jack's mother expressed helped Jack realize a stranger in need and inspired the little boy to his own act of kindness.
I had never heard of the book The Legend of the Christmas Cookie until I saw this book and I was so excited to read it. I love stories that help bring meaning to the things that we do and I love to make new traditions. This book will definitely start a new tradition this year when we start our baking!
