The Little Bell That Wouldn't Ring
Author(s): Heike Conradi
Christmas is coming!
In a church tower, three bells practice ringing for Christmas Eve. But the newest and smallest bell in the tower is silent. What could be wrong? The dove, the wise crow, and all the other animals find good words to try to encourage the little bell to ring. But nothing works . . . until Christmas Eve when they find the words that inspire the little bell to ring out—“Peace on earth.”
An inventive story about the meaning of Christmas, with ethereal illustrations by Maja Dusíková.
Review(s):
But which nice words will move the little bell to ring?...this message of peace finally inspires the bell to ring, delivering a satisfying conclusion to the tale. Nice words, indeed.
Dusíková’s gauzy holiday scenes in a snowy village square bring to mind old-fashioned Christmas cards, helping to tell the story of how a reluctant church tower bell finds its sound. The tower’s three older residents—gold, silver, and bronze bells—have started practicing for Christmas, but they can’t get the newest, smallest bell to join in. Conradi’s tale accessibly ties together secular and religious aspects of Christmas.
