Read about it at Cynsations, where Cynthia Leitich Smith has an interview with the illustrator, Ellen Beier.
What I find intriguing about the cover is the children in traditional clothing looking at the Christmas tree. If you were at my mom and dad's home at Nambe Pueblo on Christmas Eve, you'd see something like that.... Those of us who were dancing that night would be in traditional clothes, and, there'd be a Christmas tree there, too.
Definitely looking forward to reading it!
