This beautiful story, written by Michael Caduto and illustrated by Igor Kovyar, was inspired by a previous holiday service at the same chapel, where Michael invited people to share personal stories of the spirit of Christmas. It became this beautifully illustrated book, about a family that doesn’t have much, but find joy in making something special for their neighbors at Christmas time – gingerbread cookies in the likeness of each person. This act of love and generosity inspires Christmas magic. Images of the Chapel as it was in the 1800’s are in several illustrations.
