We are sharing the book "Christmas Oranges" this week in the library, a touching story that reminds me of what we should do at Christmas... Love, Serve, and Share! Found this summary on Barnes & Noble website...
"The only home little Rose has ever known was the orphanage, but Mrs. Hartley cares for all the children as if they were her own. Then Mrs. Hartley dies, and Rose is sent to a new orphanage, which is as cold and cruel as her previous home was kind. Gradually Rose makes a few friends, and she learns from them that every Christmas a generous neighbor donates a box of oranges for the children.
An unimaginable treat for a little orphan girl, an orange is an unknown luxury for little Rose. But on Christmas morning, there is no orange for Rose, only a broken-hearted child. What happens next is part of the miracle of Christmas . . .
In a charming retelling of this well-loved story, author Linda Bethers brings to new life the spirit of Christmas . . . and of love."
