From the imagination of Eugene H. Peterson, author and translator of The Message, comes a story about an unlikely Christmas gift. Andrew and Lindsay are about to discover that not all gifts come wrapped in shiny paper and tied up nicely with a decorative ribbon. In fact, some gifts have funny-looking faces and spiky orange hair--'ugly, but nice,' as Lindsay tells her brother. With captivating illustrations, this touching allegory reminds readers young and old alike to stay alert for God's most unexpected gifts. Make this story part of your family's holiday traditions to always remember the true meaning of Christmas. Recommended for ages 4 and up.
