Description
A Christmas story about a little Swedish girl who, in the midst of an ancient tradition, learns the importance of giving & the power of Christ's sacrificial love. In turn-of-the-century Sweden, finding the almond hidden in the rice pudding is the Christmas Eve highlight for many children, since it means a chance to wish . . . for a new pair of snowshoes, a mountain of truffles coated with cocoa, an adorable kitten. For ten long years -- all of her life -- Annika has dreamed of discovering the almond in her own pudding. Will this be her year? This beautiful book will inspire young & old to freely give & share even long hoped-for gifts. The final page features Swedish Christmas traditions that your family may choose to include in your own holiday celebration. Juv. Aud.
