When a leak ruins the sacristy wall in his father's church, Jonathan Jefferson Weeks thinks Christmas Eve service will be ruined. Luckily he and his father find a beautiful tapestry, perfect for covering the damaged wall and giving the church a festive look! But then, an old Jewish woman recognizes the beautiful cloth. Her discovery leads to a real miracle on Christmas Eve.
Polacco's signature illustrations of swirling snow, the fine tapestry, and numerous love-filled faces invite readers to linger. "Publishers Weekly"
