Illustrated by
Tomek Bogacki.
The snow, the lights, tree shopping--a girl describes for her young brother every traditional aspect of Christmas. She concludes by telling him that he is what makes this Christmas special. The boy looks too old to qualify as a "new baby brother," but otherwise the illustrations, which seem to exist behind a scrim of icy white frost, are spot-on.
