“The Story of Everdream” is told by grandmother Holly about a trip she took to Everdream when she was little. Now that she is older, she has secrets she wants to share, and she wants to share it with each child who reads this book. When Holly was 7 years old, she and her dog, Boots, wandered out in the woods and ran across a fairy bear named Bearon Topp, who told them about a place called Everdream. Holly was so excited that she asked Bearon Topp to take them to this magical place, so he did. And wow, what a place it was! Santa Clause was there with all of his elves working to make Christmas fun for everyone. But there was someone there that didn’t like elves, or children, or anything about Christmas. Santa’s sister Jellis Clause. Jellis Clause was jealous of Santa, so she wanted to ruin Christmas for him and for all of the wonderful children. Can she do it? Will jealous Jellis stop Christmas for everyone?
This is a really cute Christmas story, and I hope to read more children’s books by Robert Welsh. This story is exciting and captures the interest of young readers because they want to find out if there will be a Christmas this year. The story is well-written and the illustrations by Kalpart are awesome. The cover is beautiful, with Holly and Boots and the vivid Christmas colors will draw young readers to the shelves to look at the book. I love the inside illustrations with Christmas colors and snow, making if feel like Christmas.
I encourage you to grab a copy of this wonderful Christmas book to add to your child’s library. You will not be disappointed.
