Never have there been so many Christmas stories to choose from -- slim, tender tales that celebrate the season.

None is more charming or authentic than Papa's Angels: A Christmas Story by Collin Wilcox Paxton and Gary Carden. Told in the voice of 12-year-old Becca Jenkins -- a young girl who herself cannot speak -- it's the story of an Appalachian family facing its first Christmas after Momma's death.

With folk songs and gentle watercolor illustrations by Elsa Sibley, this story will melt even the toughest heart.
