Waiting for Christmas vol.2 is a collection of 25 Advent stories for adults and children by Annalena Valenti and her editorial team of MammaOca.

In this second Christmas book of the series Waiting for, the story of what human being has always desired and sought is renewed. The longing for happiness that molds our hearts and constantly makes us yearn for something beyond limits, something that goes ‘beyond’, often described as impossible, a senseless question not to be asked, becomes incarnate, possible, and near with the birth of Jesus. ‘The impossible exists, as long as Goodness is desired’ – say the voices of these stories, speaking to our lives. Lambs and wolves, little girls and drummers, nightingales and roses, shepherds and kings: even Angels rent a house next to our homes.

Poems, carols, legends and stories from all over the world:
