I am a huge huge fan of this book. Of course it does not hurt that I have my own redheaded Robbie and have his Grade 2 school picture pinned to my bulletin board.
In "Redheaded Robbie's Christmas Story" by Bill Luttrell, Robbie is the lucky Grade 2 student who gets to tell a story at the Christmas Assembly. There is only one problem.. Robbie gets all his words mixed up when he has to speak in a crowd. I know how that feels!
Robbie needs the best story to tell so he goes to his friends for help. Well they certainly give him ideas.. like getting as many presents as you can, throwing cool parties and paying back your little sister...but Robbie knows that that is not what Christmas is about.
The big night has come and when Robbie gets tongue-tied up on the stage his friends come to his rescue and tell what they have learned from a little redheaded angel about sharing, being kind and forgiveness.
Flurry Flickmas to all!
