The Christmas Cobwebs

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Terry Widener. In this tender holiday tale, a German-American cobbler and his family lose almost everything in a fire, and the cobbler must sell their heirloom ornaments to obtain new tools for his trade. But the man's kindheartedness inspires help from an unexpected corner, and on Christmas Day, their tree is adorned with beautiful decorations after all. Emphasizing simple geometric shapes, the artwork gives the book a homey feel.
