Prairie Christmas

32 pp. | Eerdmans | September, 2006 | Trade ISBN 0-8028-5280-7 $17.00
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Ronald Himler. It's a snowy Christmas in 1880, and the narrator's mother, a doctor, is called away by their neighbors to deliver a baby. The narrator is disappointed to miss Christmas morning but witnesses the importance of her mother's work and helps create Christmas for the prairie community. This sentimental tale is appropriately illustrated with soft, shadowy pencil and watercolor art.
