(3) K-3 Illustrated by Kadir Nelson. These poems capture the joy of the season: opening the cardboard box of ornaments, decorating the tree, listening to "Silent Night" played by a street musician, making snow angels in new snow, and finally, "Gather[ing] the pine needles / In a brittle pile / And sweep[ing] Christmas / Out the door." This celebration of the holiday is brought to life with Nelson's warmly lit illustrations.
