Mim's Christmas Jam

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Brian Pinkney. Working to build the New York City subway system in 1915, Pap doesn't even get a break for Christmas. When he receives a jar of his wife's famous jam, Pap offers some to the harsh foremen. The jam is so tasty that they relent, and everyone gets a holiday after all. Energetic scratchboard illustrations help create this enjoyable holiday tale. A foreword about the subway's construction and a recipe are included.
