His mother has knit him a colorful sweater instead. Thanks to his grandfather, though, the youngster comes to realize this gift of love is far more than it seems.

Sometimes the simplest things do make the best and most memorable gifts! Adapted from the bestselling adult novel by the same name, this picture book for youngsters four and older underscores the true meaning of Christmas at a time when quality may be far more important than quantity.
