(2) PS Illustrated by Bethanne Andersen. In this vaguely allegorical Christmas story, "a new star" appears, and a solitary bear searches for a majestic tree "that would be the center of all to come." He finds it, then calls forth animals as well as people from all over for a special celebration. "It was time... / for peace." Andersen's oil paintings match the story's calm tone, with friendly creatures and people of many skin tones reveling together on snowy, star-lit landscapes.
