This Christmas Day tale is an endearing account of Old St. Nick and his forest friends, their love for each other and for all children in the world, and their concerns for the Earth. The story is based in Italy and is centered around Old St. Nick and his red bird friend.
The charm of this second book in the Old St. Nick series lies in the passion that both Susan Gravely and Alessandro Taddei feel for protecting and preserving nature for many generations to come, and they honor the spirit of joy, magic, and generosity personified in Babbo Natale. Gravely's prose and Taddei's charming illustrations were inspired by the creation of VIETRI's Old St. Nick dinnerware, which continues to be loved and enjoyed at many family gatherings around the world.
