The Story of Holly and Ivy

Ivy, Holly, and Mr. and Mrs. Jones each have one Christmas wish. Ivy, an orphan, wishes for a real home and sets out in search of the grandmother she's sure she can find. Holly, a doll, wishes for a child to bring her to life. And the Joneses wish more than anything for a child to share their holiday. Can all three wishes come true? Rumer Godden's classic tale, illustrated by Caldecott Medal winner Barbara Cooney, is filled with the warm glow of the Christmas spirit.
