About the Book
New artwork by New York Times bestselling illustrator Richard
Cowdrey, this Christmas book tells the story behind the meaning of the
Christmas cookie.
The Legend of the Christmas Cookie tells the story of a
young boy named Jack who learns from his generous mother the story
behind the Christmas cookie. The family who began the tradition of
baking the special cookies gave them to the needy and shared the story
of the very first Christmas. This sweet holiday book offers inspiration
for readers to become cheerful givers themselves and encourages them to
share the true tale of Jesus' birth. A delicious recipe is included on
the jacket flap so readers can make their own Christmas sugar cookies.

My Thoughts
This is the perfect book to explain to your kids why you make cookies for the holidays! I had never heard of this story before and I loved it! The illustrations are fantastic, and kids will love the little puppy that is also in the book. Cookies are made to tell others about the real Christmas story of Jesus being born. You make cookies in the shapes of angels and shepherds and camels and then you share what you have made. While sharing this delicious treat you tell the story about what the shapes mean and the story behind the birth of Christ. Such a great idea and a good thing for kids to think about. Making your holiday treats can be more than just giving out sweets, meet your neighbors, and tell them the story!
