"The Cookie That Saved Christmas" by Sag Harbor children’s author Billy Baldwin is a story for children and adults who want to be captivated by the simple joys of the holiday season. Illustrations by award winning illustrator Liesl Bell bring to life this tale about children overcoming adversity through clever thinking and Christmas spirit.
On Christmas Eve, Dirk, the hero of this story arrives at Crowsfoot Hill Orphanage where children are sent when they have nowhere else to go. The orphanage is cold and has no Christmas decorations to welcome Santa. Dirk and his new friend, Anna, come across a trap door and uncover the mystery behind why Christmas was banned from Crowsfoot Hill. Inspired to bring the joy of Christmas to his new home, Dirk creates one of the most beloved Christmas traditions of all time.
