The Old Sleigh

On a cold winter's night of deep snow, an old sleigh delivers needful things-firewood for warmth, joyous rides through the snow presents for loved ones. But as the town takes these gifts, the sleigh is given less care and lies broken and abandoned-until another snowbound night and a new family give the old sleigh new life and purpose.

This enchanting picture book from acclaimed creators Jarrett and Jerome Pumphrey celebrates family, friendship and simple acts of giving.
