Christmas Soup
What's Christmas Soup About
Every year the Beene family dreams of a Christmas feast, but every year they get the same old watery soup. The true meaning of Christmas is revealed in this touching picture book with poignant illustrations by Jan Spivey Gilchrist. While Mama is making the traditional Christmas soup her children wish for more. When Baby Fannie prays Bless our home with something more- and that more turns out to be two hungry strangers to feed, it seems as if things can’t get much worse. But the soup-a true feast for the hungry pair-is shared, and the Beene children learn a lesson about giving they won’t soon forget. This tender story is sure to become a Christmas classic!
