Christmas Eve Blizzard

Written by Andrea Vlahakis and Emanuel Schongut

Narrated by Donna German

A young boy and his abuelo push aside their Christmas preparation to rescue a beautiful cardinal during a blizzard. The bird quickly responds to their kindness, regains it strength, and flies off. The cardinal sweetly and unexpectedly rewards the boy, his grandfather, and their entire village with a lifetime of Christmas cheer. The “For Creative Minds” section contains instructions to create a bird-friendly backyard, simple bird feeder crafts, a “Cardinal Numbers” math game, and information on what to do if you find an injured bird. Encourages children to care for animals.
