The Christmas Wreath

What happens when you combine the magic of Christmas with the majesty of the natural world? In the case of The Christmas Wreath, written by James Hoffman and enchantingly illustrated by Jack Stockman, you get an instant Christmas classic, sure to become a holiday tradition in your home.

On Christmas Eve, after sending Santa off in the sleigh once again just in the nick of time, the elves are exhausted. They have no energy left for their own Christmas celebration and fall asleep without putting up a Christmas tree or wreath. All but Chief Elf, who halfheartedly gathers scraps from the workshop to craft a wreath, which he hangs on the door before falling into his own deep slumber. What follows next involves a hungry polar bear, the beauty and stillness of a North Pole night, the watery world below the ice, and a Christmas wreath mysteriously transformed into a wondrous, one-of-a-kind work of nature and art to greet Santa upon his return home. The Christmas miracle endures through the centuries, and The Christmas Wreath is an endearing new fable your family will cherish for years to come.
