Perfect for parents seeking inclusive stories, educators teaching cultural pride, or anyone who treasures nostalgic Christmas keepsakes, this first-edition picture book marries heartfelt storytelling with vibrant art created by the author herself. Share it aloud, display it on your holiday shelf, and pass its message-"Black is beautiful, and Christmas is for everyone"-to the next generation. Make room in your stocking for a story that will become a family tradition.
