This is an early chapter book for 7-9 year olds about a little girl called Trudy;it has many illustrations.Trudy decides to share her cookies with Jesus and, on her way, she shares them with others such as an old lady and a small boy who has lost his money. She eventually reaches the church with only one of her five cookies left. The story is written as if a grandmother was telling her grandchildren about her adventure 60 years earlier. There is a recipe and music written by the author.
"I ran inside and saw the five cookies I had put next to the candle. They were just what I needed. I put them into a large white handkerchief. Then I made sure I put on my warm scarf, mitts and hat before I headed outside. I was keen to follow the star!It was a lovely, bright,crisp evening and,in the silence around me, my boots sounded so loud. The snow was not that deep and each step made a crunching sound. I was soon skipping along, singing out loud,"I'm going to find the Christ Child, the Christ child the Christ Child. I'm going to find the Christ Child and give him my gift."
Sunday School teachers may be interested to know that this story has made a good Christmas play. It allows children and adults to work together in ameaningful way.
