This Advent Calendar storybook is a one-of a kind holiday treasure with 25 Christmas bedtime stories. Parents and grandparents can enjoy reading to kids and talk about what’s really important about Christmas. Each story invites children to join six-year-old Belinda in solving a BIG mystery: What is Christmas all about? Armed only with a crayon, Belinda draws a new "clue" every day. Is Christmas all about the tree? Or making cookies? Or building a snowman? Or maybe it's something different! Will she figure it out in time? Beautifully written stories combine with whimsical illustrations that might well have been drawn by Belinda herself! As they make the journey toward Christmas, grandparents may find unique opportunities to talk to kids about the Christmas traditions in their own family and share funny stories about mom and dad! Reading together makes laughing together a special shared time as Christmas approaches. For more information about Barbara and The Girl Who Found Christmas, visit www.RedMittenBooks.com

Barbara Escher grew up in Philadelphia and loved seeing her city come alive with light and sparkle and color as Christmas approached each year. She read every book she could get her hands on, including Christmas favorites like The Night Before Christmas. She never lost that childhood love for Christmas, and today she often looks back on special Christmas memories, like much loved books she received as Christmas gifts. She also remembers years she spent teaching and creating stories. First for every kid on her block. And later for a classroom and her own children. And she especially remembers how much her children loved their Advent Calendar and looked forward to it every year! One day Barbara decided that she wanted to share a story that had been in her head for a long time. That story book became The Girl Who Found Christmas. It was important to her as she wrote the story that kids have both the traditional Christmas and the spiritual one. In her words the magic and the manger! She still loves Christmas and delights in decorating her Christmas tree with ornaments made by her children long ago. When Barbara isn't writing, she enjoys spending time with family and learning more about her new home in Apollo Beach, Florida.
