Angelina Ballerina and Henry embrace the meaning of Christmas in this festive picture book!
When Angelina Ballerina sees old Mr. Bell all alone at Christmas time, she decides to bring him some holiday cheer and asks her cousin Henry to help.

But when he finds out there’s a real, live Santa Claus living in their town, Henry and Mr. Bell both get their Christmas wish!
