Even with Christmas around the corner, for the Buckley boys, payback almost always wins out over brotherly love. That is until the four brothers join forces against a common adversary—the Hagbarts—the meanest bullies at their middle school. But now Mom has decided that the Buckley family is going to Elve the Hagbarts this year for Christmas. Eleven-year-old Matthew can hardly stand it. By day the Hagbarts torture the Buckley brothers into submission, and by night the Buckleys secretly deliver Christmas treats and gifts to their sworn enemies. Soon the war of wits escalates to an incredible scheme designed to get the ultimate revenge on the Hagbarts. But now that Matthew has been learning that he's supposed to do good to those who hate him, what will he do when a little push becomes a great big shove? The Christmas Project is a heartwarming comedy the whole family will love.

 Based on the novels Chickens in the Headlights and Bullies in the Headlights by Matthew Buckley, The Christmas Project film is a delight for the entire family.  This is a heartwarming film about a family of brothers and their parents.  Each year at Christmas they “elf” a family in their community.  This year though, their family is elfing a family that is full of bullies, at least at school.  But all is not as it seems and it shows how knowing more about someone before judging them can make a big difference.  This is a sweet story about friendship and love.  I would recommend this inspirational film to all families wanting to get in the true spirit of Christmas.

​Author Jessica B. Ellingson and illustrator Chase Jensen have come together and created a beautiful children’s book on the importance of the Sacrament.  With a poetically written story and beautifully colorful and bright pictures, this book is perfect for teaching young children the gospel principle of the Sacrament; the reasons behind why we take the Sacrament and what it is all about.  I would recommend this book to parents with young children.

​As a young boy, Jay Fontano loved to watch cartoons on TV and read comic strips in the newspaper.  Now he works as an illustrator drawing funny pictures for t-shirs and illustrations for books.  Jay and his wife have six children and a dog named Nacho.  They live near the mountains in Utah and love to go camping and have fun together.  He still watches cartoons and reads comic strips whenever he can.

Author Benjamin Hyrum White and illustrator Jay Fontano have come together and created a book that is perfect for teaching young children basic LDS gospel principles.  With easy to read text bright and colorful pictures in a graphic novel and super-hero style, this book is perfect to capture the attention of young readers.  This book would also be a good Family Home Evening tool as well.  I would recommend this book to LDS families with young children.
