Christmas in the Time of Billy Lee

40 pp. | Disney/Jump | September, 2010 | Trade ISBN 978-0-7868-1871-6 $16.99
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Barry Moser. Ellie's imaginary friend, Billy Lee, offers her companionship, comfort, and encouragement throughout unspecified hard times. The sentimental story touches on hoped-for snowfall, a grandma who believes in magic, hard-working parents, Christmas gifts, and good news for the future, all moving toward a predictable warm-and-fuzzy conclusion. Moser's detailed, luminous paintings show a loving family in a cool winter landscape.
