I understand the message of the book, and the last part of it is great, but there are some parenting things that I have issues with. A child deliberately disobeys her father by not letting her parents know where she is while they are in Manhattan, of all places. Then she willfully disobeys his grounding her to go to a party, and all is happy when the father confesses that he is in the wrong. I found it hard to get past that in that portion of the book. The beginning and ending were good, however. ( ) Sweet holiday book about a family from Vermont who spends a month on Jane Street in NYC selling Christmas trees, wreaths, etc. The Romp family depends on the income from these sales to provide their finances for the year. When the oldest child, Ellie, wants to do things differently, her father rebels, causing a rift between members of the family. After reflection, they all discover that giving is better than receiving. Changing things a little helped them learn. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
A lovely, lovingly illustrated little gem of a book, this delightful tenth anniversary edition of a beloved Christmas classic tells the poignant, inspiring story of an unforgettable family that brings the Christmas spirit to life on a street corner in Manhattan and the warm, wide circle of friends who have welcomed them to the neighborhood. Every holiday season for nearly twenty years, Billy Romp, his wife, and their three children have spent nearly a month living in a tiny camper and selling Christmas trees on Jane Street in New York City. They arrive from Vermont the day after Thanksgiving and leave just in time to make it home for Christmas morning--and for a few weeks they transform a corner of the Big Apple into a Frank Capra-esque small town alive with heartwarming holiday spirit. Christmas on Jane Street is about the transformative power of love--love of parent and child, of merchant and customer, of stranger and neighbor. The ideal Christmas story, it is about the lasting and profound difference that one person can make to a family and one family can make to a community.
