With her mother busy at the Red Cross, Molly's imagination becomes her greatest ally. She unites her friends for a school contest and crafts a memorable Christmas for her family.

Will her efforts be enough to lift the spirits of those around her?
From the publisher
Molly McIntire is growing up while the world is at war. She desperately misses her dad, who is in England helping wounded soldiers. Her mom is busy volunteering at the Red Cross, and everyone is focused on working to win the war. Toys, treats, and holiday surprises are scarce – but Molly’s imagination can’t be rationed. She brings her friends together for the school’s Lend-a-Hand contest, and she makes Christmas memorable for her family. With hope in her heart and pride in her country, Molly makes a difference on the home front. This book is richly illustrated in full color and includes a peek into Molly’s 1940s world.
