Previously published as Evangeline's Gift From Santa by Emily Ezell.
Christmas is almost here, and eight-year-old Evangeline has one very special wish: she wants Daddy to come home.
Since her parents began living apart, familiar moments feel different. When Evangeline shares her wish with Santa, he listens with kindness-and helps her understand that the separation is not her fault, she doesn't have to fix grown-up problems, and she can love both her parents.
Her biggest wish cannot bring them back together. But a Christmas story with Mommy, ornaments for two trees, and someone willing to listen help her find a little hope.
This warmly illustrated story gives children room to miss the way things were while discovering comfort in a changing family. Includes simple feelings activities and a note for grown-ups to encourage gentle conversations.
This revised edition features updated text and new illustrations.
