Books with title The Christmas Play: The Adventures of Emily Anne

Holy Christmas! Sandi is playing the part of Mary, the mother of Jesus, in the Christmas play, and boy, is she proud of that! You’ll remember that Sandi is sometimes a little self-absorbed, so playing the part of a humble daughter of God is a stretch. Emily Anne is very patient with Sandi’s self-proclaimed stardom, but Emily Anne winds up embracing a project to help a poor, pregnant sixth grader, which steals the spotlight from Sandi. Emily Anne, Mandy and Frieda come to the aid of a girl with a most unusual name, and Sandi forbids their involvement in such a low-life activity. Sandi wants to be the carrier of the amazing message of Christmas through the Christmas Play, but her efforts are outshined by the actions of Emily Anne, Mandy and Frieda. They are actually doing part of the message of Christmas, which is being willing to help others in need, even when you’re too busy with other things. Will Sandi change her tune and become a willing servant for God? I doubt it but read “The Christmas Play” to find out for yourself. Maybe this will become your story. Read on!

Life in Alaska is difficult for Anna and her mum. The snow falls almost all the time, and there's never enough firewood to keep them warm all through the night . . . On one of Anna's daily trips to the forest to find wood, she ends up in terrible trouble, falling down a deep hole until she's buried up to her neck! As the sky turns purpley-pink night draws in, it becomes colder and the snow continues to fall, but nobody can hear Anna's cries for help . . . Nobody, that is, except the strange little man peeping out from behind a tree. With hair as white as the snow, a long beard, and cheeks as rosy as cherries, he reminds Anna of somebody . . . But who's this? A big, black, wet nose nudges Anna and paws the size of fir trees begin to dig the snow. It must be Snowie, the Magical Rescue Dog, come to save the day!
