Description
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, the widow McDowell and her young son Thomas knock on his door and approach him with a gentle request that he carve them nativity figurines that were lost in their recent move.
As the widow knits and Thomas watches him work, an observation occurs and leads to a joyful miracle.
This moving, lyrical tale, gloriously illustrated by P.J. Lynch, has been widely hailed as a true Christmas classic.
This beautiful new edition with the audible CD narrated by James Earl Jones includes a new note from the author.
