Written and narrated by Jess Judd

Riley was super excited. It was almost December, which meant that it was almost Christmas! He had noticed, however, that Tom wasn't joining in with conversations about all the cool toys Riley and his friends were hoping to get.

Why didn’t his friend seem excited about Christmas and all the toys he would get? Was everything with Tom okay?

This is a story about a little boy discovering for himself what really matters at Christmas: Family, friends, and kindness to others.

A Christmas bedtime story suitable for children aged 5–13 years old.
