About the book: A Christmas Wish for Little Dala Horse, is heartwarming Juletide adventure and an enchanting Swedish Christmas tale about showing kindness and love like Saint Lucia. Little Dala Horse knows nothing of Juletide or of love—he’s just been newly carved as a Christmas gift. He’s eager to learn about the Saint Lucia girl with a crown of glowing candles, the festive star boys, and the cute pepparkakor children. Little Dala Horse jumps into a boy’s pocket and experiences the Saint Lucia pageant for the first time. At first, Little Dala is shy and hides, but when a small gingerbread girl is scared to go on stage for her dance, Little Dala finds courage to help her overcome her fear.
