Papa's Book of Mormon Christmas by Emma Rae Parker

About the Book

Six-year-old Alice would rather get toys than a book any day. But when her grandfather explains that this book is different, Alice begins to see why their first-edition Book of Mormon is so special to her family. Set in the early 1900s, this charming story is the perfect picture book to read with your family as you gather round the Christmas tree.

Review

​Toys and books are lots of fun, but when it comes down to it, the true meaning of Christmas is what matters most.  In their story for children, Papa’s Book of Mormon Christmas, author Emma Rae Parker portrays a beautiful and fun story of how a father teaches his child.  Illustrator Alexa Terry Hanson enhances the story by adding her delightful and fun artwork too.  I would recommend this captivating picture book to children and youth alike and any parent to use as a teaching opportunity.
