All Is Calm, All Is Bright

This book is fantastic!! I would highly recommend it as a holiday gift. I found this book, as well as Ms. Kirking's book--Ripples of Joy, to be among my favorites. Both books offer peaceful reading and a chance to remember to appreciate life. Way to go, Ms. Kirking!! It is nice to have books that can be shared with family and friends!
