Mr. Nicholas : a magical Christmas tale / Christopher de Vinck.
"A story that helps us see the unique goodness in each person. A boy with Downs Syndrome, figures out that Mr. Nicholas, the local hardware store owner, involved with reindeer, toys, and children is more than just a clerk on Main Street"-- Provided by publisher.
"Each town has its own secrets, and those secrets belong to each citizen in his or her own way. When it becomes known that Mr. Nicholas, the eccentric owner of the hardware store, is somehow involved with reindeer, toys, and children, the town becomes more and more suspicious that this man is more than just a clerk on Main Street.JB, a clever, open, ten-year-old boy with Down's syndrome, is able to figure out the secret from the first time Mr. Nicholas gives him a chocolate deer wrapped in gold foil. JB's father and mother, divorced and both cynical, follow the adventures of JB as he flies on the back of a reindeer, feeds Mister Rogers' fish, and defines what can be forgotten by those who are too busy to remember the magic of Christmas, cuckoo-clocks, and love"-- Provided by publisher.
