Illustrated by
Tara Nicole Whitaker.
In this cozy board book, Asim (Preaching to the Chickens) lists, in rhythmic rhyming text, what a baby girl loves about Christmas. The cartoon illustrations show the wide-eyed girl's wonder and delight as she explores (with her pet cat) holiday flourishes within her home. Details around the house reinforce the family's love and pride in their culture, including a Black Santa figurine on the mantle.
