Based on the true story of a boy who brought Christmas to the people he loved during hard times.

Young Richard wonders if Christmas will come this year. Money was tight for most families in 1933, and the Lindsay family was well-acquainted with hardship. Richard asks his widowed mother about how they can afford Christmas, but she reassures him that their family has everything they need. Without a Christmas turkey, they will have the fat red rooster from the chicken coop.

“What about the rest of Christmas?” Richard asks. “Where will that come from?”

Richard gets an idea, and with his mother's help, he comes up with a plan to give gifts to all the people he loves.

This beautifully illustrated picture book by noted newscaster Bruce Lindsay and award-winning illustrator Dan Burr brings to life a meaningful story about the joy of giving and bringing happiness to the people you love at Christmastime.
