A note for parents
This is a gentle, imaginative Advent-themed mystery that blends time travel with the nativity story. The book celebrates curiosity, kindness, and the magic of Christmas through a young protagonist's discovery of a magical calendar. While primarily uplifting, there are some mildly unsettling or poignant moments typical of literary fantasy for this age group that warrant a slight caution flag.
