Illustrated by
Deborah Chabrian.
While a boy helps bake cookies for the needy, his mother explains that Christmas cookies were first made during the Middle Ages to tell the story of Jesus' birth. Readers not picky about historical accuracy may enjoy the sentimental tale. Soft, hazy watercolors match the nostalgic tone of the Depression-set story.
