ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

"The Polar Express" by Chris Van Allsburg tells the story of a young child who embarks on a magical train journey to the North Pole on Christmas Eve. The child boards the Polar Express and travels with other children to visit Santa Claus. At the North Pole, the narrator receives the first gift of Christmas from Santa, a silver bell from his sleigh. The story explores themes of belief, childhood wonder, and the magic of Christmas as the narrator experiences the extraordinary events of the journey. The narrator's experience with the bell is transformative, and it demonstrates the power of belief and its impact on individual perception. The journey, and the magical events that the narrator experiences, make the book a testament to the power of faith.
