From: Eliza, To: Macie: A Joyful and Kind Christmas Book

By Jeana Atkison

Two Stories in One
Eliza and Macie are both excited for Christmas, but they have very different circumstances. Can each girl learn the joy of giving and the joy of receiving this holiday season?

Show your children different life circumstances to develop empathy.
Many families go through periods of struggle.

As children read the two stories showing two different life circumstances and discuss the challenges and experiences the characters face, they can develop greater empathy.

Social-emotional learning (SEL) through a powerful story of giving
No matter our circumstances we can find joy in giving and receiving

Eliza went to her room and grabbed her piggy bank. Suddenly, adding more items to her Christmas list seemed much less important. She wanted to buy a gift that could help someone smile. She wanted them to know they were not alone.

Maybe Christmas wouldn't be the same, but Macie could still make it special for her family.

More than a Story.
Not only will your children see the perspectives of different circumstances and experience the joy of giving and receiving, but by purchasing this book you are giving back to Toys for Tots; a very special organization that donates toys, books, and more to kids in need at Christmas time
