Christmas on Jane Street: A True Story di Billy Romp
I understand the message of the book, and the last part of it is great, but there are some parenting things that I have issues with. A child deliberately disobeys her father by not letting her parents know where she is while they are in Manhattan, of all places.

hobbitprincess | 6 altre recensioni | Dec 23, 2021 | Sweet holiday book about a family from Vermont who spends a month on Jane Street in NYC selling Christmas trees, wreaths, etc. The Romp family depends on the income from these sales to provide their finances for the year. When the oldest child, Ellie, wants to do things differently, her father rebels, causing a rift between members of the family. After reflection, they all discover that giving is better than receiving. Changing things a little helped them learn.

Having two (now adult) daughters myself, I can relate strongly to the Bill Romp's angst and emotions. Some may see the story as a bit saccharine and corny, but isn't that as much a part of Christmas as carols and the tree?
