I love books. I especially love books that are beautiful. And I adore books that make a positive difference in the world. If you're looking for gift ideas this Christmas, I highly recommend that you pick up one - or even more - of these to give to friends and family.

I won't give a full book review, because Book Scrounger has already provided a review. I'll just say that a portion of the proceeds from this book are making a difference in the lives of people displaced from their homes due to war. Simply by purchasing the book, you are making a difference to people in need. Make sure you pop over to Book Scrounger to read the full review of Stepping Stones.

Or you can purchase it here: Purchase Stepping Stones.

Speaking of Book Scrounger, I think she likes books even more than I do - she has a whole blog dedicated to them. And starting December 1st, she'll be posting a Christmas Countdown - one Christmas book every day until Christmas!
