This classical children's story is absolutely lovely. Simply written about a Parisian hobo who is quite happy to live a carefree life under the bridges of Paris among fellow homeless who scrape a living out of the detritus of the City of Light with no ties until the day he meets three children, who along with their mother are trying desperately to survive the winter. Unable to resist the urge to help this family Armand's fate as a drifter is put in jeopardy when he begins to follow his heart and make it his goal to make this Christmas magical.
This is a must read for any child on the rewards of generosity and love given unselfishly. A look at the truth that bad things can happen to good people and that a helping hand is always welcome. Written with care and thoughtfulness, it is a wonderful book to add to any child's library. Illustrated with lively views of Paris and the characters we meet, this really is a little treasure box of hope that can never grow old.
