Daddy Daughter Day: The Christmas Sweater: A Picture Book

Today is Saturday, I missed Daddy Daughter Day Friday because of the huge amount of snow that fell on my area. I spent over four hours traveling home last night when it normally takes about 45 minutes. So today, I am glad it is Saturday and I am home with my family. Daddy Daughter Day must go on so today I bring you The Christmas Sweater: A Picture Book by Glenn Beck, Jason Wright, Kevin Balfe, Chris Schoebinger and illustrated by Brandon Dorman.

This is an adaptation of Glenn Beck's bestselling The Christmas Sweater, published in November of 2008. This story has the same overall message as the original but is better suited for a younger audience. Young Eddie wants a bicycle for Christmas. He is at first disappointed to learn he will be receiving a sweater for Christmas. But on Christmas Eve he has a dream about all of the fun times with his mother, father and grandfather while wearing a Christmas sweater. The next morning he rushes to the tree and discovers the bicycle he had been wanting all year. Instead of rushing to it, he searches for the Christmas sweater. His mother pulls out the package for him from under the tree.

This is a great story about Christmas. The overall message is to cherish family and the moments you have with them. I very much enjoyed The Christmas Sweater and my daughter likes this version almost as much.
