A heart-warming story of the true meaning of Christmas for the young and young-at-heart...
Martin, an old candymaker, wants to give his young granddaughter, Katie, a special gift for Christmas. What can he make to help her and the other village children remember the true meaning of Christmas? Entering his workshop with this purpose in mind, he begins to create a new kind of candy. As Katie helps to put the finishing touches on the candy cane, Martin teaches her about Jesus. Katie can hardly wait to share the candy and its special message with all her friends!
Past winner of the C.S. Lewis Silver Award and the CBA Silver Medallion, The Candymaker's Gift is a beautifully illustrated Christmas story, retelling the legend of the candy cane. Following the story, the book also features pages that summarize the meaning of the candy cane, offer suggestions for candy cane celebrations, and explain the plan of salvation.
Formatted in a new, smaller size and reasonably priced, The Candymaker's Gift makes the perfect stocking stuffer, children's Sunday school gift, or outreach tool for your ministry.
