Quick Summary
A story of anxiety and the support of friends, Redheaded Robbie's Christmas story is a timeless holiday classic that everyone can relate to.
Available in Ebooks Minnesota, Redheaded Robbie's Christmas story, by Bill Luttrell, teaches readers that it is not so much how a person speaks, but what is said that matters most. In this story, one student from Mrs. Wallace's second-grade class will be chosen to tell a special Christmas story at the school assembly. The class groans when Redheaded Robbie's name is pulled from the hat. Poor Robbie! Whenever he is excited or nervous, his words come out all twisted and confused. How will he be able to tell his Christmas story at the assembly? Won't everyone laugh?
This delightful story helps remind us what we should be thinking about during the holidays, and it also addresses anxiety issues around children who find it difficult to be put centerstage. The entertaining illustrations and reassuring story make this a winning picturebook this season.
