My review:
When Nick is caught up in his things, he is unaware that others may not live or have the things he has. In a twist of fate, he gets a chance to not only have his eyes awakened but to do something about it.
This book is heartwarming and a lesson for young and old alike to learn. The overall lesson in this book is for all of us to take care of one another. We should all be aware that not everyone has privilege and we should be grateful for what we do have.
I loved the story line and the larger than life illustrations that only enhanced an already great book. The book is multicultural which is a plus, a timeless book and perfect for the holidays.
I give it 5 holiday stars.
