Description

When Stella Endicott gets the sudden idea to go caroling, she has a little trouble getting anyone to join her. Will Stella need to sing by herself, accompanied only by the cacophonous contributions of the pig, the cat, and the horse she picks up along the way? Or might there be a gentle miracle in store?
