Sweet illustrations and simple language bring the holidays to life for the youngest of children.
At Christmastime, a tree from the outside comes inside, just waiting to be decorated. And did you know that some of the tree’s ornaments are inspired by outdoor things, too — like a snowflake, a ball, a bird, and a star? Spare language and luminous collage paintings offer a fresh, inviting look at well-loved traditions.
David Martin is the author of WE'VE ALL GOT BELLYBUTTONS!, illustrated by Randy Cecil, and PIGGY AND DAD GO FISHING, illustrated by Frank Remkiewicz, among other books for children. He lives in Vermont’s Northeast Kingdom.
Melissa Sweet is the author of numerous books for children, including LOVE AND KISSES and MY GRANDMA IS COMING TO TOWN. She lives in Rockport, Maine.
