The Legend of the Candy Cane by Lori Walburg - Review

Image
By Praises from a Wife and Mommy!
The Legend of the Candy Cane is a story that should be read every Christmas.  The story pulled on my heart and the illustrations brought a smile to my face thanks to illustrator Richard Cowdrey.  Thanks to ZonderKids for sending me this book to review.  All opinions are 100% mine and I was not paid for this review.  

 The Book Description: 
One dark November night a stranger rides into a small prairie town. Who is he? Why has he come? The townspeople wish he were a doctor, a dressmaker, or a trader. But the children have the greatest wish of all, a deep, quiet, secret wish. Then a young girl named Lucy befriends the newcomer. 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 Christmas---for many Christmases to come.

My review:
The story captures the candy cane in a new way, not just  candy, but something with significant value.  The candy cane is such a neat way to help us remember the true meaning of Christmas.  I know when I look at a candy cane I will look at the red and white, I will see the J for Jesus, and I will turn it around and see a shepherds staff.  
In the story it the girl and the shopkeeper go door to door sharing the love of Christ!  It is a book that encourages us Christians to get out their and be BOLD!  

This story is a must read for any family at Christmas time.

By Praises from a Wife and Mommy!
Last week we tried out the fizzing sidewalk chalk- click here to read that review. This week it is liquid chalk spray.  They are a bit similar but yet different.  Here is how to make it: Supplies: 1 tsp. washable tempura paint 1 cup of hot water 1/2 cup of cornstarch squirt of dishwashing liquid 1 squirt bottle- I found them at the dollar store 1.  Add cornstarch to one cup of hot water whisking to mix so that there are no clumps. 2.  Add one teaspoon of washable tempura paint and a quirt of dishwashing liquid.  Mix well. 3.  Pour it into your squirt bottles and shake well. 4.  Go have fun!!!   This kept my daughters attention much longer the the fizzy chalk last week.  I also think this was easier to work with and just more fun in general.  I love seeing the chalk wet but then to see it dry.  I think it dried darker so it was fun to see the changes.  :)  Ready, Set, Go!  Have some fun! She is my little model... she kept saying "take my picture mom." She is like her
