Happy All-idays!

(2) PS Illustrated by Rob, Jr Sayegh. "The time has come to send holiday cheer / to family and friends far and near." Outside an apartment building whose windows showcase holiday decorations (including Christmas, ­Hanukkah, and Kwanzaa), a woman is mailing something. On each subsequent spread of this informative and cheerful board book, left-hand pages show families celebrating their traditions (some religious, some secular, and even a nod to the interfaith "Chrismukkah") while right-hand pages display their holiday greeting cards. Sayegh's inclusive illustrations feature one child in a wheelchair and others from same-sex, opposite-sex, interracial, intergenerational, and single-parent families, all gathered outside as a community on the last spread. Happy all-idays, indeed!
