Send voice or text msg

Christmas cookie baking and storytelling in July?! It's always a good time for a merry tale about a worried shoemaker who awakens one morning to find his luck has finally changed! How did a perfectly pair of stitched shoes magically appear on his workbench? When he and his wife hide in the cupboard to find the answer, they catch a glimpse of the clever cobblers: two tiny elves who are going through hard times too! Grateful for their new-found fortune, the duo devises a plan to create a holiday miracle for their crafty companions.

PARENTS, TEACHERS AND HOMESCHOOLERS:This episode talks about gratitude, appreciating others strengths and generosity, and the benefits of collaboration.
