The Christmas Abecedarian Book for Kids is a beautiful way for children to enjoy and understand Christmas. Old Christmas tales and new interpretations of the story of Bethlehem will come alive in the hearts of children. Never again will they look at stars, shepherds and angels as they once did, nor will they ever forget the legends of the poinsettia and the spider. From trees to turkeys, from scarecrows to Santa Claus, from poems and carols come memorable moments when the Alphie, the Christmas Abecedarian, takes children to revisited that Holy Night.

After Dr. Addie McClellan, a pediatrician, discovered she had a young patient with Progeria, the aging disease, she was devastated.

That decision was as traumatic as the disease itself
