The Christmas Miracle of Jonathan Toomey di Susan Wojciechowski
Jonathan Toomey is the best woodcarver in the valley, but he is always alone and never smiles. No one knows about the mementos of his lost wife and child that he keeps in an unopened drawer. But one early winter's day, a widow and her young son approach him with a gentle request that leads to a joyful miracle.
Every St. Patrick's Day, the neighboring towns of Tralee and Tralah have a contest to see which town decorates best for the holiday. Tralah always wins. One year, Tralee has a winning strategy: painting the whole town green. When a little man with ointed ears and bells on his boots arrives in Tralah to ask for help with his cows, they tell him they're too busy. He asks the people of Tralee the same thing. They agree to help him, knowing that they will likely lose the contest yet again. When they wake up on St. Patrick's Day, their whole town has been magically painted green and they win the contest for the first time. After that, they no longer compete with the town of Tralah, but celebrate St. Patrick's Day for the joy of it.… (altro)
Gently paced tale of recovering from loss and rebuilding a family by sharing talents with each other. I liked it a lot and may use in future with 3rd grade or thereabouts.
