Christmas on an Island is a marvelous book, contrary to the reviewer for Publisher's Weekly. The prose is not flat, rather it conveys a sense of serenity. Clearly, this children's book is not written to be stilted or grandious. Ms. Gibbons describes a close-knit community that celebrates Christmas where the emphasis is not on commercial consumption. The book is a sweet story, and I was pleased when my son said he wanted me to check on line for a copy of it.
