Illustrated by
Christa Unzner.
On Christmas Eve, Mia helps an old man. Realizing, in the confusion, that she left her Christmas tree behind, she goes looking for it. Instead she find a little boy who has lost his hat, and Mia gives him hers. Fackelmayer presents readers with a story about the true spirit of giving. Unzner's light-filled illustrations bring their own magic to this old-fashioned tale.
