review 1: Historical Fiction.Themes- Christmas, Charity, Giving, Rockefellar Center Christmas Tree, Great DepressionClassroom Use- Read in a unit about the Great Depression and/or just before the winter holidays. Students can journal about how they would show their gratitude toward someone who helped to build them a home, or what their "Christmas wish" would be. As a class, organize a fundraiser or canned food drive for Habitat for Humanity.
review 2: This book was so sweet and the historicalness behind it was super interesting. I had no idea that the wood from the Rockefeller Christmas tree was donated to Habitat for Humanity. And then how they put that into the story of a young boy learning about good deeds and helping the less fortunate. But not just giving them som... moreething but working with them to help them. That's what I thought was really cool about that book. It's a great teaching aid on charity. less
