Translated by Charise Myngheer.
When an angel arrives on Earth to search for the best Christmas gift, he and a rabbit exchange twenty-four stories about Christmas and generosity. Fourteen artists illustrate familiar and lesser-known tales including "Anna's Wish," "The Gingerbread Man," and "Silent Night." The collection hangs together well and expresses the values of the Advent season without sacrificing strong storytelling.
