Rob wants to get his father something special for Christmas this year--something that shows how much he really loves him. But it's Christmas Eve, and he doesn't have much money to spend. What could he possibly get? Suddenly, Rob thinks of the best gift of all...

The acclaimed author of nearly a hundred books for children and adults, Pearl S. Buck captures the spirit of Christmas in this elegant, heartening story about a boy's gift of love. Originally published in 1955, this timeless story with glorious full-color art by Mark Buehner will be a welcome addition to your holiday collection.

Buck reimagined the lives of ordinary Chinese people in The Good Earth, a international best-seller that became a blockbuster film when it was published in 1932. Buck went on to win the Nobel Prize for Literature, making her the first American woman to do so. She foresee China's future as a superpower long before anybody else, and she understood the critical importance of China's relationship with the United States for both countries. She experienced the beginnings of the Chinese revolution as a teenager, and as a young lady, she narrowly avoided being slain in the violent conflict between Chinese Nationalists and the newly founded Communist Party.
