Bookroo's summary
In a heartwarming tale, a family and their diverse community come together to celebrate the holiday season. Through Maya Angelou's evocative poetry, the story captures the spirit of peace and unity across different faiths and backgrounds. As the poem unfolds, it invites readers to reflect on the true meaning of the season, where joy and harmony transcend differences. This illustrated book, accompanied by an audio CD of Angelou's reading, offers a timeless message of hope and togetherness.
From the publisher
Celebrate Christmas with the joyous poetry of the incomparable Maya Angelou. Angelou’s beautiful, moving, and beloved poem, which she first read at the 2005 White House tree-lighting ceremony, now comes alive as a fully illustrated children’s book, celebrating the promise of peace in the holiday season. In this simple story, a family joins with their community–rich and poor, black and white, Christian, Muslim, and Jew–to celebrate the holidays. This special package includes an audio CD of the author reading the poem aloud.
