Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
From the #1 New York Times bestselling authors of An Invisible Thread comes the true, heartfelt, and extraordinary story of how one woman's decision to help a boy on the street changed both of their lives forever.
In this sweet picture book, Laura retells the first Christmas that she and Maurice spent together. She shares how Maurice gave her a small white bear--as she later learns, the only thing he had that he could truly call his own--to show her how grateful he was for their friendship.
This heartwarming tale captures the true meaning of the holidays and will be one you'll want to share with your family year after year as a reminder that a gift from the heart is always the best present under the tree.
"This heartfelt story tells the true but unlikely tale of a young woman working in the city and a young boy in desperate need of friendship and guidance. In the short time after they meet, Laura realizes Maurice has never celebrated Christmas, so she opens her heart and her home and sets out to show him how wondrous the holiday is. What she finds through his glowing eyes is that the meaning of the holiday is truly about giving, not getting, as they each discover the magic of Christmas and how one small random act of kindness can truly change a life."--Jacket flap.
