About This Book

A young girl spending winter abroad becomes dismayed at being away from home for the holidays and, prompted by her father, tries to make Christmas joyful for someone else, meeting barefoot street musicians and discovering new ways to give. That central episode is joined by other short children's tales that chronicle small adventures, family interactions, and moments of discovery. The collection blends travel settings, domestic humor, and gentle moral lessons about empathy, generosity, and finding pleasure in unexpected friendships.

"And may I ask what your mother does in the galleries?"
"Has there really been an earthquake, and where was it?"
Reggie paused before the open window.
"She's pretty, isn't she?" whispered Phyllis.
