Blind Tim, and other Christmas stories written for children

A gentle collection of holiday tales invites young listeners into a world where simple acts of kindness shine brightest at Christmas. From the heart‑warming misadventures of a rag‑clad child to the quirky charm of a Christmas tree that seems to have a mind of its own, each story captures the wonder and generosity of the season without ever losing its childlike honesty.

One of the standout narratives follows Tim, a pale, hump‑backed boy who cannot see but longs to feel the stories his Sunday school teacher describes. As he runs his fingertips over a picture of the Good Shepherd, his imagination awakens, and the familiar city streets become a landscape of discovery. Guided by his cousin Louise, Tim’s curiosity and gentle spirit reveal that true sight comes from the heart.

The remaining stories—whether about a boy who finds a perfect tree for his friend, a family facing an unexpected holiday, or a quiet pine that holds a secret—offer cozy, timeless moments that celebrate friendship, hope, and the quiet magic of Christmas mornings.
