Illustrated by
Melissa Iwai.
Hanna is homesick for Sweden as her family prepares for their first Christmas in America. With the help of a tomten, she celebrates Santa Lucia Day and settles into her new home. The art and story are both pleasant, but the package, designed in conjunction with the Hanna Andersson clothing company, suffers from an abundance of sweetness.
