Something for Christmas - Hardcover

by Palmer Brown (Author), Palmer Brown (Illustrator)

"What are you doing, dear?"
"It's a secret."
"Secrets are better if you share them a little. So tell Mother why you look so sad on Christmas Eve."
"I am wondering what to give--someone--for Christmas."

So begins the story of a little mouse's search for a very special gift for a very special person. Nothing seems just right until the little mouse realizes that the best present of all is already at hand.

Palmer Brown has given us something special for Christmas--or any day--an entrancingly lovely story, filled with the true spirit of the holiday season.
