Childrens
The Stowell family is abuzz with holiday excitement, and
Frankie, the youngest boy, is the most excited of all. But
there's a cloud over the joyous season: Tomorrow is
Christmas Eve, and Pa hasn't returned yet from his trip to
Lansing. He promised to bring back the oranges for the
mantelpiece. Every year there are nine of them nestled
among the evergreens, one for each of the children. But
this year, heavy snows might mean no oranges . . . and,
worse, no Pa!
This is a holiday story close to Patricia Polacco's heart.
Frankie was her grandmother's youngest brother, and every
year she and her family remember this tale of a little boy
who learned--and taught--an important lesson about giving,
one Christmas long ago
