A Timely Tale about a Little Brown Boy who Saves Christmas. Nick Saint never really put a lot of thought into his name until one snowy day in December when he accidentally receives a letter meant for Saint Nick. Realizing there is not much time left until Christmas, Nick opens the letter. The unexpected message inside ultimately leads him on a journey of understanding poverty, gratitude, and service to others while discovering the real meaning of the holiday spirit.

MY THOUGHTS.....
Nick Saint is a very selfish boy until a letter addressed to Saint Nick is mistakenly left at his house and he is shown a world that he never knew existed. Someone named Cooper E. asks Santa to help his mom find a job so that they can have a place to live and his little brother can have a truck for Christmas. Suddenly, Nick gets a glimpse of the real world where people are homeless, children are hungry, and luxuries are non-existent. He is also reminded what Christmas should truly be: a time for giving and for sharing."Some people seem to thing that Christmas is all about what you can get. But you and I know that this season means to give, to hope, and to love without regret."
In the Nick of Time is a book that children will enjoy and parents will love. The colorful illustrations make it fun and appealing for young people and the strong focus on helping and serving others is especially relevant during the holiday season. In the Nick of Time is perfect for reading as a family and I am anxious to share it with my young granddaughter.
I received a complimentary copy of this book via IRead Book Tours but there was no obligation for a favorable review. These are my own thoughts.
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Meet the Author:
Deirdre “Deedee” Cummings believes literacy is a fundamental human right. She is the founder of Make A Way Media, It Pays to Read & the Louisville Book Festival, as well as, an attorney, therapist, and CEO of Abi Behavioral Health in Louisville, Kentucky. Abi is an intensive therapy agency that works to prevent the placement of children in out of home care, such as foster care, hospitalization, and incarceration. Deedee attended Bennett College in Greensboro, North Carolina, one of only two all-female Historically Black Colleges in the country. After graduating from Bennett, she earned a master’s degree and a law degree from the University of Louisville. All of her writing focuses on sharing inspiring messages that remind us all it is never too late to begin again. Deedee encourages the children she works with to write as a way to process emotions, document their journey, and express themselves more clearly. In addition to presenting on multiple topics around the country, Deedee donates hundreds of books and volunteer hours every year to families, children, churches and the local school system. She is excited to announce the launch of her tenth children’s book, This is the Earth. The inspiration for this book came from overwhelming negative media coverage about race relations in our country and across the world. This is the Earth is a book about peace, respect, and diversity inclusion: a message that must be heard and repeated often. She and her husband Anthony live in Louisville with their three children Kayla (an actress in New York), Anthony (a college student and athlete), and Nick (in elementary school).connect with the author: website ~ make a way media ~ twitter ~ twitter ~ facebook ~ facebook ~ pinterest ~ instagram ~ instagram ~ goodreads
