Every Ornament Has Its Place is a story that celebrates
our love of our favorite Christmas ornaments and
explores what happens when an eight-year-old boy,
Matt, can't find his the night the Christmas tree is
brought into his home. What Matt learns is that he
believes in Christmas spirit and that it is better to
give than to receive.
Then the big morment finally arrives. My dad says "I
believe that's the last box, boys. You can start now."
My brothers quickly and entusiastically open the boxes,
and they reveal beautiful and homemade and new and
old and odd and favorite ornaments. The boys quickly
grab the ornaments, except no one notices me searching
frantically for the mouse in the rocket ship.
Where is he? Where is he? Where is he? Where is he?
I think over and over as I frantically search.
*Watch the author's son react to seeing the book for the
first time (it's about his favorite ornament)!
