About This Book

Three schoolgirls form a Friday-afternoon Christmas club to plan and make handmade gifts for neighbors and friends. Meeting in a cozy nursery, they learn to gather materials from the woods, craft toys and decorations, and undertake visits to brighten others' holidays. Their activities include mending a cherished doll for an elderly woman, welcoming a quiet boy into their circle, and devising a festive Gray Owl Santa persona to distribute presents. The episodic narrative emphasizes imagination, self-reliance, kindness, and the rewards of cooperative creativity in a small-town setting.
