Silver Packages: An Appalachian Christmas Story

I found an ex-library copy when I was leaving some books on the 'free' book truck near the door of the branch library and picked it up along with a couple of children's books in Spanish because of the excellent artwork. For myself I found it a little maudlin but I deal a lot with YA books where the characters make horrible decisions and this is for a much younger crowd. It did not circulate too much but enough and that there are over two dozen folks on the wish list here speaks well for the attraction of this story taking place when FDR was president to lower elementary school readers.
