Publisher's Summary

Discover the heartwarming tale of Merry, the Turtle Dove, a delightful children's book that teaches us the true meaning of Christmas and the power of giving from the heart. This enchanting story will captivate the hearts of children and adults, alike, as it gently reminds us that the most valuable gifts are those given with love, laughter, strength, and encouragement.

In a tiny village in Bethlehem, Merry, the Turtle Dove, lives a life filled with love and kindness. With a heart both kind and rare, she spreads the cheer of Christmas to all the creatures around her, making each one feel special, safe, and sound. As she encounters a lamb, camel, donkey, and ox, each without a tangible gift to give, Merry teaches them that their most precious gifts lie within themselves—their love, their joy, their strength, and their laughter.

One magical Christmas Eve, Merry discovers a newborn baby in a stable and is moved by the warm and gentle love she feels for him. As she bestows her own gift of hope and encouragement upon the baby, Merry learns that even the smallest of creatures can make a difference in the world. Her love and kindness become a part of the baby's life, inspiring him to spread the same gifts of love, laughter, strength, and encouragement to others throughout his journey.

Merry's tender story of giving and compassion is brought to life through a captivating narrative that will engage young listeners and inspire them to share their own gifts of love and kindness with others. This timeless tale serves as a gentle reminder to children and adults, alike, that the true spirit of Christmas lies not in the material gifts we give, but in the love and compassion we share with one another.

Gifts of Encouragement will be a cherished addition to your family's holiday listening tradition, as it encourages listeners to look beyond material possessions and focus on the meaningful and lasting gifts that come from within. Don't miss this opportunity to share this touching story with the ones you love, and witness the power at work as the magic of Christmas comes alive in the hearts of all who listen to this treasured tale.
