Ultra-Modern Book Review of Cocoa Mistletoe: Celebrate the Gift of Giving Written by Ciara L. Hill and Illustrated by Natalia Scabuso

In Cocoa Mistletoe: Celebrate The Gift of Giving, the holiday spirit “merrily” radiates through the heart and mind of a unique girl named Cocoa Mistletoe. She adores everything about Christmas, from spending time with loved ones to the entire soul food feast. However, what ignites her greatest satisfaction is not what she receives but what she gives. Cocoa usually magically creates the perfect Christmas present, but lately, she feels something’s missing. After delivering presents with her flying reindeer, Mr. McJingles, she’s inspired to make handcrafted gifts.

Cocoa discovered she enjoys creating handmade presents using only love and art materials. Her Christmas gifts were well-received, motivating her to seek more opportunities to spread holiday cheer. She realized that Christmas is not solely about exchanging gifts but rather about spending quality time with loved ones, creating cherished memories and traditions, offering kind words, and giving back to those in need through volunteering or donating.

Cocoa Mistletoe: Celebrate The Gift of Giving is a captivating story by Ciara L. Hill, who greatly understands her young readers. The book is an enjoyable Christmas read for kids with vivid imaginations who can relate to the magical feeling of Christmas. The illustrations by Natalia Scabuso beautifully depict the joy of the season. This charming story teaches an important lesson about how giving is often more fulfilling than receiving. Overall, it was a lot of fun to read.
