The Gingerbread Doll

Great-grandma Rebecca tells the story of memorable Christmas gift, a gingerbread doll, made for her by her mother during the Great Depression. If you'd like to shift the focus of Christmas from materialism to love, this is THE book to do it. When you read this book, take time to linger over the realistically drawn, detailed illustrations - They are a pleasure in themselves.
