From Inside Editions national correspondent Megan Alexander comes a sweet picture book celebrating the joys, wonders, and traditions of a small-town Christmas.
In the town of Heartbeat Falls, where skies are crystal clear, the magic of Christmas is celebrated in many different ways: from picking the perfect tree to decorating it with glittering ornaments; from ice skating to eating yummy gingerbread cookies; from hanging handmade stockings to sharing a home-cooked meal. Here, the residents know the beauty of a small town doesnt come from its size, but from the love shared by its people, shining brightly in their eyes.
This heartwarming picture book is an ode to Christmas in the spirit of author Megan Alexanders show, Small Town Christmas.
