The fourth book is a compilation of seven original Christmas stories, including “The Snowbird,” “The Candle in the Window,” and “The Littlest Star.” The book covers and many of the stories are illustrated by Lenarcic’s granddaughters Emily Firestone and Lyndsay Snyder along with Benton Hall Academy (Little Falls) principal Joe Long.
