On the first day of Christmas my parents gave to me . . . a holiday book about my very own state! Welcome to Christmas in Missouri, the Show Me State–and Cody’s all ready to get a grand tour from his cousin Laila. Together, they’ll count bald eagles, spelunk in stalactite-filled caverns, eat Kansas City-style barbecue, visit the Pony Express Museum, and have the best time. Cody receives some amazing gifts, too, from 1 dogwood tree with a bluebird to 12 tiny tin trains.
Ann is a writer of both adult and children’s books, including The Little Piano Girl: The Story of Mary Lou Williams, Jazz Legend.
Laura Huliska-Beith is an illustrator living in Kansas City, MO. with her husband and their two small dogs. Every morning she climbs the pizza-shaped stairs to her attic studio where she tries to create engaging images that help tell stories and connect with children of all ages. You can usually find one of her dogs, Sigmund, on the back of her chair while she’s working, while Charlotte, the other dog, works on her own projects in another corner of the room. When not in the studio, Laura can be found visiting schools and talking about the creative process with students, drinking coffee with her husband and good friends, or walking with Sigmund and Charlotte in the neighborhood.
