(2) PS Illustrated by Charnelle Pinkney Barlow. As his loving extended family begins their traditional Christmas Eve celebrations, a young Black boy tells us how much he loves Santa. He is curious to know, however, of all the different representations of Santa that adorn his house ("sitting on our Christmas tree, smiling on our gift wrap, and stitched on to my sweater"), which one the real Santa looks like. "Does he wear a red or golden hat? Is his beard gray or black?" The child stays up all night in order to find out. The answer, when he finds it, is satisfying: "Santa looks just like me." Cozy, detailed art in Christmassy colors ­supports a ­joyous story of self-worth and ­inclusivity.
