Illustrated by
Gabi Swiatkowska.
A snowstorm prevents Mary, the librarian who drives the bookmobile, from taking her niece Hannah home on Christmas Eve. The older vehicle can't get up the lane to Hannah's house, so Hannah and her aunt happily decide to spend the night in the bookmobile, sustained by many food gifts from their patrons. Acrylic illustrations thoughtfully convey the context of this warmly told, although somewhat contrived, story.
