The Christmas Miracle of Jonathan Toomey by Susan Wojciechowski
5.0
A book that celebrates the true spirit of Christmas. A grieving widower is brought out of his gloom by a young boy and his mother. Yep, sounds like a plot of many a romance novel - but this is an illustrated story for older children.
Mr Toomey (known to the village children as Mr Gloomy) is asked to carve a replacement nativity scene for a recently arrived widow and her children. Over time the two visit him and the young boy offers advice on how the pieces should look.
It is lovely. And I'm so pleased I found this edition.
