40 pgs, full color illustrations, 2008. All ages.
Angelou’s moving poem is a radiant affirmation of the goodness of humanity. First read at the 2005 White House tree-lighting ceremony, it comes alive again 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, Muslim and Jew—to celebrate the holidays.
