TheSecret Santa of Olde Stonington by Mark KimballMoulton, illustrated by Susan Winget (2003) is a large, lovely story written in rhyme. “Nestled on a windswept coastline, up old New England way, lies the village of Olde Stonington with her protected bay.” It’s been a difficult year for the village and winter approaches with the residents unprepared -- despite their persistent hard work. In strolls a stranger, somewhat familiar yet not. He helps residents with their chores and then he leaves. And when Christmas arrives, no one is disappointed.
