As we’ve brought down more and more Christmas boxes I’ve discovered more great books which I just have to share with you. Here are another 5 that should be added to your bookshelves.

1. Mr. Willowby’s Christmas Tree
Written By Robert Barry
Full of heart and humor this story will take you through a forest filled with cute and friendly creatures. Following Mr. Willowby as he looks for the perfect Christmas tree and discovers that bigger isn’t always better…that is unless it’s shared.
2. Voices of Christmas
Written By Nikki Grimes Illustrated By Eric Velasquez
This is a spectacular book. Visually it is stunning and the voices of each character captures the story we all know of Christmas while bring a new perspective. Each page takes us back in time to see how the new of Our Savior birth was received.
3. The Christmas Miracle of Jonathan Toomey
Written By Susan Wojciechowski Illustrated By P.J. Lynch
Here we meet a woodcarver who rarely smiles and a widow and son who seem lost. With such different temperaments you’ll wonder how each will receive the other. In this heartfelt story we are reminded that how we perceive a person is only ever half the story. Hurt and healing can be found, but it is rarely ever quick and it is never easy.
4. The Shepherd on the Search: A 25 Day Family Devotional
Written By Josh Helms
To go along with the Shepherd on the Search activity (the alternative to Elf on the Shelf) this devotional will include Bible verses, activities, and prayers. This is a great read for families that want to gather together spending time in the Word and follow Christ to Christmas.
5. Christmas Farm
Written By Mary Lyn Ray Illustrated By Barry Root
When things need a new beginning sometimes it needs a little help. Wilma along with her five year old neighbor Parker will do just that. Transforming Wilma’s garden to a Christmas Farm is not only a display of determination, but the desire to experience joy. And even more importantly to share that joy with others.
