The Gift of Christmas is an excellent story that can be "heard" by all ages.  This is a story about two brothers whose mother gives them money to go buy things for themselves for Christmas.  Both boys fill their sacks with "stuff".  On the walk back home, one brother sees others who are crying or upset or need something that he has.  He gives them each something from his sack of items he had bought for himself.  This continues on the walk home.  The other brother can't understand why his brother is giving all of his "stuff" away.  The giving brother is happy and feels great about what he did.This is a WONDERFUL book with a great message that can be "heard" by children of all ages.  Michael Yu is my daughter's favorite author, and of course, she loved this book like all the others.  If you haven't read anything by Michael or Rachel Yu, you are missing out.  The illustrations in their books are second to none.  Every page is bright and vibrant!Great job, Michael!
