"The Return of Light - A Christmas Tale" is a small (5 1/2 inch by 7 1/2 inch) 67 page book suitable for a stocking stuffer or Christmas gift. The book is a fast read and can be read in less than an hour. It is a delightful children's fantasy which highlights some very meaningful and needed values. The author lives in an area full of fir trees and must have a background with cutting and selling trees from a Christmas tree lot because she uses that setting and plot in her book. Dia Calhoun, the author, writes an intriguing fantasy tale in the tradition of J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis.

The story takes place on Faith Mountain where all the fir trees are growing and looking forward to the day when the magical Christmas Deer comes and chooses trees to become light for the families who buy them. The trees on Faith Mountain had to be six years old for the Christmas Deer to choose them. However, this year the Christmas Deer touches Treewing who is only five years old and tells him, "My child you have a special destiny." Treewing held tightly to that promise even when it appeared that no one was going to buy him for Christmas. He, like so many of us when discouraged, fear that we are beginning to lose our faith. Even though it was difficult, Treewing continued to hold onto that promise. Readers could actually spiritualize this part of the story and compare it to God's calling in each of our lives and how when we are discouraged we have a tendency to give up but then God's light shines through us in a marvelous way. All of us must continually remind ourselves that God gave us a message too. That message is "My child you have a special destiny." You will want to read this book to find out how Treewing was instrumental in returning light to several people and families at the end of the book. Children will love this story and those in 3rd Grade and above should grasp the hidden meaning. Adults, also, will enjoy this delightful heartwarming Christmas tale.
