The Gift of Nothing is a sweet little book, perfect for anyone who would like to encourage a child to focus on the simple pleasures of the holiday season. Regardless of what holiday we celebrate, many of us are out looking of the perfect gift. Mooch's attempts to figure out gift-giving are something we can all relate to, and his decision to get Earl nothing is truly inspired.
"There is nothing here," said Earl.
"Yesh!" said Mooch. "Nothing...but me and you!"
In a season of hustle and bustle, to-do lists and stress, it's easy to forget that the very best gift we can give each other is time spent together. This is especially true of sharing books with your kids... so take a moment, pick out a book, and enjoy time well spent.
