Candy Moon

By Londa Hayden

Description:

Lighthouse Christian Publishing announces the release of "Candy Moon," a new children's picture book. This newest work by Londa Hayden offers a realistic and practical answer to parents who struggle with keeping Christ in Christmas for their children. What is the true meaning of Christmas? A question not asked often enough in this world of high-tech materialism. Candy Moon is a charming and endearing story that carries the theme of giving to those less fortunate. Parents and children alike, ages preK through third grade, will experience riding along with the Thompson family on their way to help a family in need, and their children realize the joy of giving. This timeless children's picturebook offers vivid illustrations by renowned artist and cartoonist, Nick Nixon. Bright colors light up each page from the toy shop train to Grandpa sharing the story of Jesus birth and a glowing candy moon at the end. The carefully crafted wording gives older children ease in reading to their younger siblings and friends. The familiar scripture of Christ birth, reminiscent of A Charlie Brown Christmas, is also included. A children's book of this nature is long overdue, and one surprisingly not available before now. In a world where traditional values are challenged, Candy Moon fits well as a classic family favorite.

Book Takeaway:

To give is better than to receive.

Why the author wrote this book:

I was inspired while working with victims left homeless from the Katrina Hurricane. I wanted to encourage children to learn the joy of giving to others in need, There is no other book of this nature on the market that I'm aware of either.
