(2) PS Illustrated by Frank Morrison. The African American narrator awakens and heads out into a snow-dappled city, taking in Christmastime sights, sounds, and tastes. Onomatopoeia-inflected text and kinetic, zoomed-in oil paintings enliven various iterations of experiencing "the spirit of the season." We get increasingly closer to the true meaning of Christmas until the revelation--"THE SPIRIT IS YOU!"--as the girl donates a gift to a needy family. An energetic, uplifting celebration of the season.
