An Orange for Frankie - Patricia Polacco

Descriere An Orange for Frankie - Patricia Polacco

Based on her own family history, Polacco retells the story of her grandmother's youngest brother Frankie, a little boy who learns--and teaches--an important lesson about giving during one Christmas. Full color. \nPatricia Polacco's most poignant Christmas tale \nThe 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 \n 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\n
