Adapted from the #1 "New York Times" bestseller by the popular radio/TV host, this picture book tells the story of Eddie, a boy who spurns his mother''s gift of a sweater. Later, the sweater teaches Eddie that the true meaning of a gift is that it is given with love. Annotation: Glenn Beck, the popular conservative radio host and bestselling author presents a semi-autobiographical Christmas story that conveys what it is like to be young, and which captures the true spirit of the holiday. Eddie knows what he wants for Christmas--a red Huffy bike--and he makes sure to let his mother know. However, his family has been living in difficult circumstances since the death of his father three years earlier. What Eddie actually receives on Christmas morning sets in motion a difficult, soul-searching process of growing up.
