The Christmas Clue

About The Christmas Clue:

Christmas brings out excitement, joy, and love of family. For siblings, Ryan and Natalie, it does even more than that. It stirs up anticipation and friendly competition because when Santa visits their house, he leaves clues. He hides them under couches, in cookie jars, outside in the snow, and even in the bathtub. Santa doesn’t simply drop off the presents and leave like usual through the chimney. At Ryan and Natalie’s house, he gives them the thrill of a Christmas morning scavenger hunt. It’s a mad dash after all the other presents are opened, as they take turns reading clue after clue and rhyme after rhyme in hopes to find their last gift.

Elizabeth the Emu explains to Angel Scarlet, Princess Daphne, and Fairy Cora that having proper etiquette is more than good manners, it’s about being kind and courteous. And for the sisters? Well, let’s just say that they will be needing more than one lesson from Elizabeth the Emu’s etiquette class.

Good Night, Grammy by Matt Rufo


About Featured Book: Good Night, Grammy by Matt Rufo

Five-year-old Samantha is very sad. Her grandmother has just died.
How do parents deal with their children’s grief, as they themselves are suffering the same loss?

Good Night, Grammy shows how one family helps their daughter remember the loss of her beloved grandmother.

One night as Samantha is getting ready for bed, her mother asks her what book she would like to be read.

Suddenly sadness fills Samantha’s face and tears fill up her little eyes.

“What’s wrong, Samantha?” Mom and Dad are very concerned.

“I was thinking of Grammy and how she would read me stories before bed and cuddle with me in the big rocking chair. I miss hearing her voice. It would calm me before bed and it just makes me so sad.”

Dad gets a tissue and Mom wipes her tears and consoles her. Mom tells Samantha, “We all miss her so much. What can we do to make you feel better?”

Samantha thinks. “Actually Mommy, can I do a bedtime prayer for Grammy?”

Sometimes it’s the simple things that make us feel better.

Price good for a limited time.
