Best Award-Winning Books to Buy Your Kids This Christmas
 
Christmas is almost upon us and once again, parents and relatives are up to their eyes in helping Santa deliver the right toys and gifts into the right hands. It's hard for us adults since the things we might like to purchase for the children we love are not necessarily the things that are at the top of their lists. But while favorite toys may come and go, favorite books seem to last forever! In this program, Sandie talks with two of her favorite children's authors about the inspiration and personal stories behind their beautiful creations.
