A Christmas like Helen's

32 pp. | Houghton | September, 2004 | Trade ISBN 0-618-23137-4 $16.00
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Mary Azarian. Second-person text ("To have a Christmas like Helen's / you'll need to be born on a Vermont hill farm, / before cars, telephones, or electricity") helps readers experience what Christmas was like during the author's grandmother's childhood. Though not all the snippets of Helen's history work as a whole, Azarian's bold woodcut illustrations are eye-catching.
