But the tiny bundle by her side stirred a little, though it was scarcely more than the ruffling of a feather; and she awoke, drew the baby closer, and listened to the voices outside brimming with joy: 'Carol, brothers, carol, Carol joyfully, Carol the good tidings, Carol merrily!' 'Why, my baby,' whispered Mrs. Bird in soft surprise, 'I had forgotten what day it was. You are a little Christmas child, and we will name you 'Carol' -- mother's little Christmas Carol!'Kate Douglas Wiggin (1856-1923), author of such works as Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm, Penelope's English Experiences and A Village Stradivarius, was one of America's most popular writers of books for young people.

The book is about Carol Bird, who as a young girl is portrayed to be full of love and generosity, having a positive effect on everyone with whom she came in contact. Around the age of 5 she contracts an illness and by the age of 10 physicians say that she does not have long to live. The story is about her generosity in planning a Christmas (and therefore, a birthday) party for the nine Ruggles children, a poor family living next door. The book is not simply a wistful moral tale about a saintly child, but is enlivened by many humorous scenes, especially those of the Ruggleses' home life. Carol was named because she was born on Christmas day and her mother heard a Christmas carol from outside. The initial intent was to name her Lucy after her grandmother, but the family agreed that someone born on Christmas was not to be named lightly.
