Every parent is going to feel seriously *seen* in Mac Barnett's new holiday picture book.
— Robert Munsch, Patricia Polacco, Jon Scieszka — and it's my favorite thing to hear my daughters talking about their own favorites now. Wein our house, but nobody will hold quite as big of a spot in my girls' childhood book memories as Mac Barnett. And withis a seriously lovely story and something you aren't expecting. It isn't about a baby named Santa's experiencing their first Christmas.
The book’s synopsis reads: “We all know that Santa makes everyone’s dreams come true every Christmas, but it turns out that he needs a little help getting into the holiday spirit himself. Instead of letting Santa get right back to work after he returns home to the North Pole on Christmas morning, his loyal elves want to make sure he experiences the same Christmas cheer he provides for others.
Plus, this is the first time Sydney Smith and Barnett have collaborated on a story together, and I hope it's not the last. Smith's illustrations are so delightful and have tons of sweet pops of detail and color. Barnett's storytelling always feels magical, and Smith's illustrations match it perfectly — a little whimsy, a little realism, and a whole lot of wanting to dive right into the pages yourself. Just wait until you see the gorgeous food spread illustrations.
