When he reveals his identity and shares with her the legend of the candy cane, she discovers fulfillment of her wishes and the answer to her town's dreams. Now will she share what she has learned? Vibrant illustrations by Richard Cowdrey bring to life a timeless tale by Lori Walburg, a story that will help families celebrate the mystery and miracle of Christmasfor many Christmases to come.

#smilesonlitsy , @dabbe - not a pic I'd usually share but this one's for you! I was at a Christmas card making class and we got candy canes + chocolate as welcome presents. The instructor asked me to pose for a pic - I chose to ham it up.

dabbe LOVE it! Smiles all around! 🤩🤩🤩 5mo

I took this photo during #wintergames2021 for a daily challenge and I am STILL in love with it. If it wasn‘t for copyright issues because of the book in it, I would TOTALLY use this as a Christmas card!!

I didn't even think to ask if the candy cane had any significance. Actually, I don't really like candy canes and its cool to see that it does. It's not as old as some Christmas traditions but it definitely has an interesting Nativity beginning 😯 Enjoyed it just for that tidbit! #tmskellington #wintergames #holidayread

The illustrations are a little too 'realistic' for my taste but they're very nice 😊 #tmskellington #wintergames #holidayread @clwojick @staycurious

Tomorrow is everyones favorite holiday tradition, the Candy Cane Hunt. It is like an Easter egg hunt but with candy canes. My kids and I invite all our friends and now an invite is coveted. This is 40 dozen candy canes. The game is the prize for the kid that finds the one hidden ornament that looks like a pickle. #candyland #seasonsreading @vkois88 @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

I've been tagged by @Texreader ... Its my first time doing one of these, so forgive me if I messed up.

1. Tea 🍵for me. But my brother insists that when family is involved, there should be alcohol.🍸
2. I prefer something warm and cuddly around my neck. SCARF
3. Litsy TBR. It's growing by leaps and bounds!
4. Candy Canes, but I'm not a purist, I like all flavors.

Texreader There‘s no right or wrong but if there were you did perfectly. Isn‘t it fun? 6y
