THE OLD SLEIGH

THE OLD SLEIGH by Jarrett Pumphrey and Jerome Pumphrey

While not specifically a Christmas story, The Old Sleigh is a story about giving, so I'm adding it to the Christmas BOOKLIST as well as the Winter BOOKLIST.

The Old Sleigh is a heart warming story about a father and son and their dedication of providing firewood to the people in their town. As the town grows, so does the load on the old Sleigh until it finally breaks. But that's not where the story ends. While the father repairs the big, old sleigh, the son makes a small sled from some of the broken wood that he can use to deliver small loads with. The ultimate beauty of this story is how the son continues the tradition of caring for others that his father taught him. This moving picture book not only helps to start conversations about caring for others but also serves as a reminder to us parents that our children are always watching our actions! Highly recommend!
