“A companion tale for A Christmas Carol ? You’ll get no ‘Bah, Humbug’ from me as mischievous, magical Spirits appear to Tiny Tim.” — Charles Dickens’s Christmas Ghost Tiny Tim, one of the most endearing characters in Dickens’s classic, is only 6 years old, but he senses the despair of his father Bob Cratchit and feels his own pain—from his crippled legs and from other boys who bully him. Like Ebeneezer Scrooge, he has unearthly visitors, but his are lighthearted, mystical Spirits who inspire him to look beyond his limitations, see himself and others as wonderful gifts, and discover the true meaning of Christmas. “In this heartwarming rendition, Tiny Tim learns how to overcome hardship and embrace the Spirit of Christmas.” — Brandon Hall, co-author of The Success Principles Workbook with Jack Canfield, cocreator Chicken Soup for the Soul® series, and Janet Switzer "Leonard gives us an early Christmas present with his creative spinoff of A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. . . . This book will touch your heart, mind, and soul!" - Tutti Taygerly, author of Make Space to Lead "A must read for fans of Charles Dickens. A new twist on a famous tale that you'll be a scrooge to miss." - Peter Gray, author of Rough Cut, Brilliant Cut, and The President's Cut " I love Tiny Tim's Christmas Carol. . . Leonard weaves his understanding of spirituality and psychology into a compelling story as angelic beings help Tiny Tim rise above his physical pain and mental suffering and embrace his true essence which is love." - Mari Frank, author of From Victim to Victor and coauthor of Fighting for Love "What's more fun than reading a heartwarming Christmas story with a message of love?" - Danna Beal, author of The Illuminated Workplace "Leonard has used the classic by Dickens and his considerable insights as a psychotherapist to create a touching story about the true meaning of Christmas and the healing power of love." - Anne Moose, author of House of Fragile Dreams "The Spirits of Christmas Past, Present, and Future now appear to Tiny Tim in this delightful perspective that helps him close the door to suffering and open the door to love and happiness." - Arthur Tassinello, author of Your Key to Love and Happiness "Snuggle into your comfortable recliner and read this enchanting story with some of Dickens's memorable characters.

O'Connor, CSP, author with Cyndi Maxey, CSP, of Present Like a Pro "Like a fine sculptor, Leonard shapes Tiny Tim's Christmas Carol into a story that teaches us to open our eyes before judging others. This story will inspire you, as it did me, to look for the light inside us all." - Dennis McNicholas, author of God Called Collect from Cleveland "A great addition to Leonard's previous tale of Bob Cratchit as he illustrates the powerful bond between father and son." - Diana Pardee, author of On the Cusp: A Poppy MacKenzie Mystery "Leonard now brings Tiny Tim to life in a way Dickens would have loved. This is even more delightful than Bob Cratchit's Christmas Carol ." - Mary Harris, author of Diggz and Wrrrussell series As a fan of Charles Dickens, and especially of A Christmas Carol , I wondered what it would be like if Spirits visited Tiny Tim. While Dickens presents Tim as an endearing, innocent character, I drew upon my background as a psychotherapist to imagine the anguish a 6-year-old boy would endure having a physical malady in 1843 Engand. Since I've been working with the healing properties of dreams for the past 40 years, I crafted the dreamworld to assist Tim in overcoming his suffering. As so often happens in dreams, visitors appear in the most interesting forms and reveal what we normally cannot see in the waking state. I believe that we are all visited by beautiful souls, some in our dreams, others in the flesh. Whatever their form, they come to remind us to bestow the Christmas Spirit on whoever comes into our life. It matters not whether the person is a beggar, banker, or bully. As Tiny Tim said, "God bless us, everyone." Merry Christmas! "A companion tale for A Christmas Carol ?
