5 Stars, Thomas Anderson, Editor in Chief, Literary Titan

In The Christmas Lesson: Unwrapping Love and Family, author Dedrick Moone weaves a delightful narrative around Lamar, a young boy brimming with curiosity and a penchant for playful mischief. Set against the backdrop of the festive Christmas season, this children's picture book captures the essence of a child's excitement and eagerness to uncover hidden holiday gifts. The story takes a meaningful turn when Lamar's grandmother observes his quest and decides to impart the true essence of the holiday.

Moone's tale is beautifully complemented by vivid illustrations, making it an engaging read for young audiences. The book's charm lies in its ability to resonate with the childlike wonder surrounding Christmas. The narrative is further enriched by Moone's skillful depiction of the holiday atmosphere in Lamar's home, from the cheerful Christmas tunes to the eye-catching decorations and the enticing aroma of freshly baked cookies. The character of Lamar's grandmother is particularly noteworthy. She embodies wisdom and gently guides Lamar, teaching him a valuable lesson about the significance of love and family during the festive season. This aspect of the story provides a heartwarming portrayal of intergenerational bonding and the passing down of important values.

The Christmas Lesson stands out as an ideal read for young children, especially during the holiday season. It not only entertains but also educates, subtly instilling the true spirit of Christmas-focusing on love, togetherness, and the joy of giving. This book is a wonderful tool for parents and educators to engage children in a meaningful conversation about the deeper aspects of holiday celebrations.

5 Stars, Anne-Marie Reynolds, Editorial Reviewer, Readers Favorite LLC

The Christmas Lesson: Unwrapping Love and Family by Dedrick L Moone is a lovely kids' story with some amazing illustrations, full of color and light. The story is loosely based on the author's childhood, and it shows children that, while it's nice to receive presents at Christmas, it's about much more than that. It's about being together with people who love you, sharing stories, and sharing joy with others. With the holidays nearly upon us, this is a great story for parents and grandparents to read to kids. It's a lesson in learning to accept what you have and not be greedy for more, and it's a lesson in appreciating the love you and your family have for each other because that's what makes the day so special. A wonderful story that should be in every child's library.

    Author Dedrick Moone does it again! Another great children's book the your children should be reading. My kiddos loved it and so did I. The author always tells stories that are sooo relatable. I remember one year I was curious during the Christmas time and my mom had wrapped the presents early and put them under the tree. I went looking under the tree and accidentally putting a hole in a gift.. yikes I was scared; I knew I shouldn't have been under the tree but I was curious lol.

    So yes I truly enjoyed! If you haven't already read a copy with your kiddos, order a paperback and gift a copy.
