A review by simplymary
The Christmas Miracle of Jonathan Toomey by Susan Wojciechowski

4.0

We started a tradition of letting the kids pick one wrapped Christmas book per night in December and reading it to them. Matthew bought a bunch of new books and it's been fun to read them together. This one takes the cake, hands down. Both the story and the illustrations are top-notch. The author's objective was to write a story that captures the power of the hope of Christmas illuminating despondency, and the illustrator spent a lot of time researching the period to get all the details right. I found myself savoring every page, spending time poring over the touching illustrations, smiling at the child's words, wondering how it would end. I'm happy to own it so I can revisit this work of art each December.
