Based on a true story, this is a touching reminder of the power of Christmas and community spirit, no matter what the time of year. It's October, but in seven-year-old Evan's town, every house is decorated for Christmas and a giant holiday parade is about to begin. The bump in Evan's head means he might not make it to December, so all his friends, family, neighbours, and thousands of strangers have moved Christmas just for him. Evan is delighted to see the trees, the lights, and even snow, but he's a little worried that the parade might not be complete. How will Santa know he needs to visit so early? Will it even feel like Christmas without Santa there? Based on the true story of Evan Leversage and featuring an afterword by his mother, Nicole Wellwood, The Boy who Moved Christmas is a loving tribute from the duo behind Always With You, and a touching reminder of the power of the Christmas spirit--no matter what time of year.… (more)

Are you ready for some holly, jolly fun? Do you want to get into the Christmas spirit? Grab this wonderful, little, picture book to meet all of these requirements!

It's October, but it's snowing. Our little buddy Evan suddenly gets the best early Christmas gift anyone could have asked for: Christmas being moved early. The neighbourhood is decorated with twinkling lights, the police are ready to help start the show and everything looks so much brighter when giving back to others.

Honestly, this is a wonderful, true story that needs to be told. It's an absolute delight and a great read to teach the value of giving and the Christmas spirit. If this story doesn't bring a tear to your eyes... well, then you're crazy! It's such a beautiful, beautiful story.

This one's for Evan.

Five out of five stars.

Thank you to NetGalley and Nimbus Publishing for providing me a free copy of this book in exchange of an honest review. (
