I really enjoyed reading this book. This book contains 7 stories about Christmas magic, as well as about the magic that all of us hide inside us. Everything begun to a village, in which something unexpected happened....From this story all the other stories begin, as at the end of this first story, a girl takes six magical objects in order to deliver them to six different people. In this book you will find what happened with these six magical objects and how they changed the life of the people who took them. As such, you will learn about the secret that changed the life of the girl who did not remember Christmas, as well as about the child who learnt the truth about Santa Claus! Moreover, you will read the story of a boy who traveled to the North Pole and lived a life-changing adventure with the help of a magical book. The story of Annita is also included in this book. Annita was a girl who "saw" Christmas magic and found the magic inside her with the help of some magical glasses that she found accidentally! Through these stories you will realize that nothing happens at random and that New Year coin can hide magic! Moreover, you will realize and that the last day of Christmas can last not only one day, but three weeks (!), as it happened to John, who "lived" in the moment.
This book is full of Christmas magic and contains really interesting and adventurous stories. Through these stories, children, as well as adults, can have the opportunity to discover many things about themselves and find their own path to their inner self and their self-development. Each of the stories has a unique plot and offers a unique opportunity to realize that the real magic is inside us. As such, this book includes not only Christmas stories, but it can also act as a tool for self-improvement.
Teaching and learning through this book
I really appreciate the attempt of the author to transmit psychological messages through a book for children. Children have the opportunity to recognize themselves in the characters of this book and participate to the psychological inner journey of these characters reading the magical adventures described in the stories. This book has the potential to be incorporated to classroom and can help teachers transmit messages to their students through an entertaining and inspiring way.
