Review
The Tailor's Gift is
a beautiful story about community, friendship, and positive thinking. The illustrations are reminiscent of the early 1920’s. (They
actually remind me of the old postcards my aunt and I used to collect when I was a child.) There’s a point in the story where Shimmel
Cloth, his sheep, and his sleigh looks like Santa in the night sky. At the end of the story, there’s a short tip sheet to help small
children spread the spirit of giving.
The Tailor’s Gift is a simple, yet inspirational story about a tailor, his sheep, and his customers—the villagers. The tailor,
Shimmel Cloth, lived on the outskirts of the village with his sheep. The villagers traveled up the mountain, to his home for fittings.
Grateful for the business he received from the villagers, the tailor thanked them by saying, “If there is ever anything I can do for you,
I promise, I will.”
One winter, after he’d made his promise, the village became engulfed in flames. Without hesitation the tailor gathered his sheep and his
sewing supplies and headed towards the village. Once in the village, the tailor learns that the entire village is gone—including clothes
to keep them warm during the winter months.
Feeling down, the villagers inform the tailor that they do not have the money to purchase his clothes; in fact, they don’t have money for
anything because everything they had was lost in the fire. The tailor, unwilling to let them stay discouraged reminds them that they
still have what’s most important—each other!
If you’re tired of reading the same old Christmas stories, you might want to give The Tailor’s Gift a try.
