'Miss Santa Claus of the Pullman' Summary
On a snowy Christmas Eve, two young siblings, Polly and Peter, set out for a distant town to meet their father and his new wife, whom they've never met. Nervous and uncertain about their stepmother, they encounter Miss Santa Claus who offers them a magical solution. She tells them the story of Princess Ina, who used a charm woven from starflowers of obedience and kindness to transform a cruel stepmother into a loving mother. Inspired by the tale, Polly and Peter embark on a quest to gather these starflowers, demonstrating acts of kindness and obedience along the way. Their journey is fraught with challenges, testing their resilience and understanding of true family bonds. As they learn the meaning of love and forgiveness, they come to realize that family is not just about blood ties, but about the shared experiences and mutual respect that bind individuals together.Book Details
