Illustrated by
Antonio Javier Caparo.
A bespectacled young father observes Santa Claus delivering his family's Christmas gifts in this edition of Moore's holiday poem. Caparo's rich-toned, full-bleed illustrations feel cinematic, with varied perspectives creating a sense of intimacy in the cozy home and neighborhood scenes. A contemporary typeface and modern visual details--such as fashionable Santa's red sneakers and striped gloves--gently update this classic tale.
