Grimm's timeless fairy tale is brought to life once more in an enchanting retelling of 'The Elves and the Shoemaker'; a heart-warming story about little things that make a big difference. Henriette Barkow's reworking of this classic tale is a delightful way to help early readers appreciate the importance of kindness, charity, and helping others.
