Quite frankly, this might be one of the most charming short Christmas stories ever!Trish Ackerly was bullied by Ian Rafferty in her early teens, then suddenly Ian disappeared from the town. Now years later he's back and all those old hurt feelings of being bullied resurface for Trish.When Ian sees Trish's beautiful art work on the bakery window he asks Trish over to paint the windows on his home in hopes to cheer up his depressed young daughter.I found Pastels and Jingle Bells utterly heart warming. The relationship between Trish and Ian's young daughter was so touching and funny...the little girl spirited actions and comments steal the show. Feldman creates an amazing story in such a small book and she makes us want more. This is a MUST holiday read, you can't help but smile throughout this fabulous book.I received this ARC copy of Pastels and Jingle Bells from Christine S. Feldman in exchange for a honest review. This book is set for publication November 1, 2013.
