I gave The Christmas Elephant five stars on Amazon. This unique, delightful retelling of the nativity story feature children performing a Christmas play, but there's a twist. Ellie wants to be an elephant and there were no elephants in the manger when Jesus was born. With gentle conflict and lots of heart, this story will stay with you a long time after you read it, much like the young elephant who never forgets. As you can see the cover, the illustrations by Laura Zarrin are charming. Destined to be added to your cherished collection of Christmas read-alouds. I was given a free copy for helping promote this book. So glad I was! Maria used elements from her own life as a stage manager and perfectionist along with her niece's love of elephants to write this book. A sweet story you will want to read each Christmas. Just released from Paraclete Press, this debut from Maria is a treasure!
