A RICHLY EVOCATIVE CHRISTMAS PICTURE BOOK

Beautifully evocative, this Christmas story tells not of Santa or gifts or even more extraordinary holiday customs. Rather, it paints a portrait of PLACE--coal country Pennsylvania--and a little girl returning to family there for the holiday. Poetic language, simple and soothing, combine with muted acrylic paintings to create an atmosphere that blends the joy of now with the deep sadness of loss and longing. A wonderful choice for the holidays.
