The Story
Book three in the Shelly's Adventures series.
Christmas is glowing across the water, and Shelly can't help but wonder what all the excitement is about.
With Grandma Cora by her side, Shelly learns that Christmas can be about faith, family, friendship, kindness, laughter, and bringing joy to others. Before long, Shelly and her friends decide to create a little Christmas magic of their own right there on the beach.
Using driftwood, shells, sea grass, music, and plenty of imagination, the friends discover that something doesn't have to look perfect to feel special. Along the way, Shelly meets a clever new friend named Ollie, shares plenty of laughs with Sunny, and experiences a Christmas Eve filled with wonder.
A warm, whimsical holiday story about friendship, creativity, togetherness, and discovering that some of the brightest Christmas magic can be found in the moments we share.
