Update Your Holiday Repertoire

2017 Holiday Books 


Sharing books anytime of year is one of my most favorite things to do.  I am especially pleased when I can share quality holiday books.  My children and I had our favorites which we read year after year which is a great tradition but it also can become comfortable.  I always kept a watchful eye out for new books to mix in with the old standbys so as not to miss something great.  
Now that my kids are grown, I continue to seek out new and special holiday books to share with my friends, family and Library patrons.  Here are a few of my favorites published this year. 
Happy Reading! 

                                                                                                           

By Nicola Killen
An endearing tale about a little girl and her late night adventure with a lost reindeer.  The beautiful illustrations were the highlight of this heartwarming tale for me.  
By Martha Brockenbrough
A sentimental book about a child learning that Santa Claus is not real, but the spirit of Santa Claus is! A fun way to welcome children who are questioning to "Team Santa". 
Adapted by the Metropolitan Museum of Art

For families seeking a more traditional approach, this biblical telling of the Christmas Story is accompanied by medieval and Renaissance paintings from the Metropolitan Museum of Art.  
Gorgeous from cover to cover! 

By M.E. Furman

A tasty look at Christmas traditions around the world.  Did you know that in Australia, because its summer, families leave Santa a cool glass of milk or BEER?

Pickles, poems, presents... oh my! 
Curmudgeon Bear and the ever optimistic Mouse are back for another fun tale.
