Silver Packages An Appalachian Christmas Story by Cynthia Rylant illustrated by Chris K. Soentpiet

Frank longs for a doctor's kit from the rich man who throws silver packages off his train each Christmas.  Yet each year he does not receive it but much needed socks, hats, mittens and a special toy.
This book talks about generosity and debts are paid continuously out of thankfulness.
*Highly recommend.
Ms. Rylant is so talented-she writes humorous stories for beginning/transitional readers yet can write touching stories like this one!
