A Mysterious Christmas Visitor

By: Leary, Barbara

On a quiet farm one snowy Christmas Eve, a young girl settles in by the fire with a good book-until a crash in the woods shatters the stillness. Accompanied her community of woodland animals, she steps bravely into the shadows to face whatever might be lurking in the dark, only to find a creature that needs her help. What follows is a funny, whimsical tale told in lyrical rhyme and vibrant illustrations-a story of unexpected encounters, connection, and the magic that can find you when you least expect it. With themes of courage, empathy, and understanding, it invites young readers to imagine a world where kindness leads the way.

The rhyme is a fresh take on "A Visit from St. Nicholas," known popularly as "The Night before Christmas," attributed to Clement Clark Moore.

The book includes four pages of fun facts about the awesome animals who power Santa's sleigh, blending entertainment with a bit of education to satisfy the natural curiosity of young readers.
