If you’re in the market for a great chapter book to read aloud with the kids to get you in the Christmas Spirit, Cole Family Christmas is definitely the book that will warm your heart and remind you and your children of the importance of family values in a time where they seem to be all but slipping away.
Set in the Kentucky during the 1920’s, Cole Family Christmas is written by Jennifer Liu Bryan and Hazel Cole Kendle, a grandmother/granddaughter team who documented a true family story passed down for generations about Hazel’s coal mining family and an unforgettable Christmas experience in the 1920s. At 88-years-old, this is Hazel’s first children’s book, which started off as a family project until the publisher recognized her story as a valuable lesson for American families.
