Description: "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."--
Review Quotes: Its illustrations reminiscent of children's film classics, with lovely touches of winter starshine and frost, this cheery Swedish picture book follows a woodcarver as she lovingly crafts a Christmas gift for her granddaughter.--Foreword Reviews
