This book is beautifully illustrated. The illustrations bring out the gentle warmth of the story. A fierce little pine marten assists St Nicholas in delivering gifts to those in need. This is a story of overcoming, of change, of understanding, and above all, love. I highly recommend this book to anyone who gets excited about Christmas, anyone frustrated with Christmas as marketing, guilt, and consumerism, and anyone looking for a spark of warmth during the cold months.
