On the Feast of Stephen

 

 

It's rotten having a birthday just before Christmas. 

Sometimes Toby gets just one present for both his birthday and Christmas. Sometimes people just give him money because they've run out of present ideas.  Then when he comes to spend that money there's hardly anything left in the shops. It’s the same this year. He can't find any Lego bricks he wants. 

An old man who reminds him of his Grandpa Jack is sitting cold and hungry on the street. Toby thinks of another use for his birthday money.  What he does afterwards reminds his Grandpa Jack of a well-known Christmas song.  

On the Feast of Stephen by Gill and Ashleigh James is a feel-good story for early readers.

The Spruce by Jeanne Davies, illustrated by Harriet Taylor

 

The finery of Christmas only lasts a short while.

The excitement fades and the children lose interest in the little tree.  It now longs for the life it had before.   It realises that being amongst nature even in all sorts of weather was far more rewarding that being stuck indoors.  And it would have had an advantage over the other trees; it would have remained while they lost their leaves in the autumn.

Now, though, the warmth in the house has made it shed most of its needles and it is confined to a dustbin.

Yet there is hope. One of the children finds a way of being kinder to its nature.
