 My Review: 

A heartwarming story, perfect to share with the whole family at Christmastime. 

Engaging and told in a straightforward and simple style, with a format that is great for young chapter book readers or would be great as a read aloud for the whole family. I also really enjoyed the accompanying illustrations that complimented the story well in their style and details. I appreciated the message of faith, and love for your fellow neighbor at Christmastime, which makes for a heartwarming read. 

I liked the themes of faith in hard times, as well as giving at Christmas time through the eyes of children. A wonderful story to share with your family during the holidays. 

I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

About the Author



Dan Petronelli was born and raised in Brockton, Massachusetts. He currently divides his time with his wife between West Bridgewater, Massachusetts and Stuart, Florida.

He is a strong member of his local community and has served as a Christian worship leader where he led a large congregation in praise and worship songs, including two of his original songs: “ Walking in the Light” and “ Providence.”

Dan Petronelli participated in Smith’s Magazine’s Six-Word Memoir contest, and his memoir was selected and later published by HarperCollins.

Dan found a message in a bottle when he was a young boy tinkering on a rocky shoreline. It was a profound spiritual message that he has kept and still treasures today.

This inspired story was written as a cherished Christmas gift for his family, and it is his hope that the SEED OF FAITH will also bring joy and continue to grow in the hearts of readers around the world.
