Christmas Reads for Kiddos
Here are a few of our favorite books we read together at Christmastime:
Santa, Are You For Real?
by Harold Lawrence Myra
Recommended by my husband's family. Explains the origins of St. Nicholas, how he was a real person who loved Jesus and did kind things for other people. A good way to "break the news" to older children who are starting to question if Santa is real.
The Crippled Lamb
by Max Lucado
A different perspective on the nativity story - a crippled lamb who is left behind when the shepherds took the other sheep to graze in a distant meadow. This little lamb is first discouraged because he is different and doesn't see his purpose. At the end of the story, he ends up snuggling up to the newborn baby Jesus to keep him warm. God had an important purpose for him all along!
Christmas in the Big Woods (My First Little House Books)
by Laura Ingalls Wilder
A sweet look at how pioneers spent Christmas. This book is special because it's written for young readers. It's a 5-minute read and gives your little ones a taste of Little House on the Prairie books without a big time investment. A neighbor saves Christmas for Pa, Ma, Laura and Mary against all odds, for the love of his friends.
