Silent Night

By Will Moses

Book Overview

It's Christmas Eve and everyone in the small Vermont town is busy getting ready-baking pies, lighting candles, and hanging decorations. The Miller family is getting ready, too. Pa and the boys must rush to the train station to pick up Grandma, so they can return home to Mama before the storm comes. When they finally arrive back home, the town doctor and Mama's friends are already there, waiting . . . waiting for something truly wonderful this Christmas Eve. "The lyrics of the beloved carol provide the springboard for Moses's joyous Christmas story. Covered bridges and horse-pulled sleighs give the tale a nineteenth-century feel, while his human figures radiate the warmth of the season." (Publishers Weekly)
