Note that I didn’t specify which holidays, of course. These are just the books I think did a slam bang job of lauding their respective days of celebration. Enjoy one and all!
2016 Transcendent Holiday Titles
Babushka: A Christmas Tale by Dawn Casey, ill. Amanda Hall
Oh, certainly this isn’t the first Babushka title you’ve ever encountered in your life . . . or is it? It’s certainly the cheeriest I’ve seen. And lovely too.
Christmas in the Barn by Margaret Wise Brown, ill. Anna Dewdney
Anna Dewdney left us in 2016. One of the many losses we’ve had to swallow. Be comforted then that she did a really stand up and cheer job on this old Margaret Wise Brown book. A nice take on an old classic.
The Christmas Story by Robert Sabuda
For you pop-up lovers. Of course Sabuda got his start with a pop-up Christmas book (The Christmas Alphabet, if I’m not much mistaken). This just makes sense as a natural companion.
Christmas for Greta and Gracie by Yasmeen Ismail
Okay. Stand back. I’m going to say it.
Most emotionally honest children’s book with a Christmas theme since The Best Christmas Pageant Ever.
That is all.
Groundhog’s Runaway Shadow by David Biedrzycki
Lest you fear this is an entirely Christmas-related list (it’s alphabetical which skews it a little at the start). I love Groundhog’s Day books and we get about one to two a year. This one’s worth the price of admission.
Hanukkah Delight! By Leslea Newman, ill. Amy Husband
A board book and a bloody good one too. And trust me, there’s a need. Great Hanukkah board books aren’t exactly a dime a dozen.
Hanukkah with Uncle Reuben: Not Santa . . . (But Not Bad) by Mark Tuchman
The only mystery with this book is how it hasn’t been picked up by a major publisher yet. Consider it your culturally sensitive alternative to Shmelf the Elf.
The Lost Gift: A Christmas Story by Kallie George, ill. Stephanie Graegin
I’m not the kind of reader who goes in for cute little furry animals delivering lost Christmas presents on their own, but this book isn’t cloying. It’s cute, but it comes by its adorableness honestly. Kudos George & Graegin!
Maple and Willow’s Christmas Tree by Lori Nichols
Heartfelt is hard. Of all the Maple & Willow books, I like this one best. Not hard to see why.
More Than Enough: A Passover Story by April Halprin Wayland
When Marjorie Ingall wrote up her The Best Jewish Children’s Books of 2016 list (THE best list to go to each and every year for all things Jewish) she alerted me to this book. I was able to locate it pretty quickly and I’m awfully glad I did. Here’s what Marjorie had to say about it: “We see a young family shopping, preparing for and celebrating the holiday, announcing ‘dayenu’ regularly along the way. In an afterword, Wayland explains the meaning of the word, outlines the elements of the Seder, and notes that ‘dayenu’s message—being grateful for the blessings in each moment—goes beyond Passover. It’s a concept I hold in my heart when I’m on a beautiful hike, when I’m biking with my family, when I’m petting my kitty.’ A good reminder for all of us.”
The Nutcracker by Kate Davies, ill. Niroot Puttapipat
Clearly I’m a pop-up sucker, but this really and truly is one of the best Nutcrackers you’ll ever buy. I mean, just LOOK at that ending!
Potatoes at Turtle Rock by Susan Schnur and Anna Schnur-Fishman, ill. Alex Steele-Morgan
If you buy only one book by a tattooed female rabbi this year . . .
Refuge by Anne Booth, ill. Sam Usher
That this book isn’t better known is shocking to me. It draws direct comparisons between refugees and a certain fleeing couple and their newborn babe. $1 from the sale of each book sold until October 2017 will go to the UN refugee agency, UNHCR.
A Teeny Tiny Halloween by Lauren L. Wohl, ill. Henry Cole
For all that Halloween is my favorite holiday of the year, in a lot of ways, this was the only book that really did it for me in 2016. A great rendition of a classic.
Yitzi and the Giant Menorah by Richard Ungar
Funny and smart. And now, naturally, I have the Steven Universe song “Giant Woman” caught in my head, though now it’s with the words “Giant Menorah” instead.

I know we just passed Valentine’s Day and have not yet reached St. Patrick’s Day, but holiday books have been on my mind. Recently I read-and rejected-a Christmas story that had many of the red flags I hope not to find in a manuscript. I feel bad for authors when I send rejections, as I know that their heart and soul are poured into their work. As I’m already thinking about the catalog for the fall and the publication schedule for next year, now seems like a good time to share my thoughts-scattered as they may be-on writing holiday books for children.
What am I thinking when I pull a holiday story from the stack of manuscripts waiting to be read? First, I hope that it won’t be written in rhyme. Too many people seem to think that stories for children must be written in rhyme. Rhyming is well and good if it suits the story, and the writer doesn’t try to force the rhyme. Yet I often find myself muttering, “Prose is a good thing. Give prose a chance.” as I go through manuscripts with an 8:2 rhyme to prose ratio.
I also hope that the story is about a holiday other than Christmas. Halloween is the second favorite for holiday stories, but Christmas holds a strong lead in the holiday stories submissions stakes. I’m quite fond of Christmas, but there are other holidays where new books would have a better chance of being noticed.
Then there is the Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer Syndrome. That’s my phrase for when a writer uses a popular character in a story without researching if it is in public domain. Rudolph has an interesting copyright and trademark history. I won’t go into that here, but if you use a copyrighted/trademarked character in your story, two things happen. The words “copyright issues” come to my mind. I also immediately discard the manuscript.
Check out what holiday books are available. Think about what makes them work well. What ideas do you have that would appeal to readers? Find out what the publisher chooses to publish.
Don’t include illustrations. Publishers have art directors who find professional illustrators for projects.
Then send it to a publisher. We are always looking for the next holiday classic.

Here comes Valentine CatDeborah UnderwoodIllustrated by Claudia RuedaPicture BookFor ages 5 to 7Penguin, 2016, 978-0-525-42915-9Cat does not like Valentine’s Day and has declared his territory a “No-Valentine’s Zone.” The reason for this is that Cat thinks Valentine’s Day is “all mushy.” Cat’s friend – who happens to be the person narrating the speaking part of this story – suggests that Cat should make a valentine for a friend. Cat suggests that he could make a valentine for Squiddy, his stuffed toy squid, but the narrator gently suggests that Cat should give a valentine to someone who “isn’t a stuffed animal.” There is a problem with this suggestion though. Cat cannot think of a single person he would give a valentine to, which is rather sad when you think about it. The narrator then suggests that Cat should give Dog, who is new to the neighborhood, a valentine. Cat then gets grumpy because Dog throws a bone over the fence, which hits cat on the head. Apparently Dog has does this many times. Dog then throws a ball over the fence, which also hits Cat on the head. Cat then gets an idea, and the narrator starts to worry. Cat is cranky, and when Cat gets cranky he does things that could backfire in a big way. This laugh-out-loud funny picture book brings back Cat, the sometimes cantankerous feline who does not really always understand how to get along with others. The good news is that Cat does have a companion, the narrator, who helps Cat figure out how to navigate the tricky world of friendship and how to make the right choices in life.Cat does not like Valentine’s Day and has declared his territory a “No-Valentine’s Zone.” The reason for this is that Cat thinks Valentine’s Day is “all mushy.” Cat’s friend – who happens to be the person narrating the speaking part of this story – suggests that Cat should make a valentine for a friend.

The Valentine Monique Felix
Wordless picture Book
For ages 4 and up
Creative Editions, 2013, 978-1-56846-247-9
A mouse is sitting, by itself, feeling lonely and bored. He starts picking at the paper he is sitting on and when the tear in the paper gets big enough, he peers through the hole it has created. There is something wonderful and amazing on the other side of the paper and the mouse jumps for joy.
Quickly the mouse starts chewing at the tear and until he has created a little paper heart. Then he squeezes through the hole he has made and goes to the other side. Soon he is back and he stars chewing the paper again. Diligently he chews a big square and then smaller squares. Then he starts to fold and fold until…
In this delightful wordless book, one of Monique Felix’s little mice finds a wonderful surprise behind a piece of paper, a surprise that inspires the lovelorn mouse to get creative.
Merry Christmas, Everyone! I hope you have a wonderful week of holidays. It’s time for me to catch up on my reading. I’ll be back after the holidays (1-2-2016). Until then . . . Read a few good books. Write something wonderful. Get ready for another year of Kid Lit Reviews. It will be the 5th!Filed …
It's only September, but ballet schools across the country are already holding auditions for the holiday favorite
The Nutcracker. I finally convinced my 8-year-old and 10-year-old daughters to try out for a local production this year. Luckily, as with many recreational ballet schools, this one tries to cast everyone who auditions. The girls auditioned last Saturday, and we have just a few days left before we find out their parts!
While we're waiting, I thought I would do a little research to see what Nutcracker-themed picture books have just been published or will be coming out soon. As I expected, I found quite a few! Here are the four I'm most looking forward to reading...
Written in verse by Kristyn Crow with illustrations by Molly Idle,
Zombelina Dances The Nutcracker is a follow-up to
Zombelina, which introduced readers to a young Zombie who loves to dance. In the new book, Zombelina and her friend Lizzie need to figure out how to save
The Nutcracker production they're supposed to dance in at the local opera house.
Rachel Isadora's
Bea in The Nutcracker is another sequel -- to
Bea at Ballet. The first book was a concept book, introducing young children to the components of a ballet class.
Bea in The Nutcracker breaks down the components of a classical ballet, using
The Nutcracker as an example.
I don't know too much about this version of
The Nutcracker by Stephanie Spinner and Peter Malone, except that it comes with a CD of the Tchaikovsky score. But the cover really draws me in, and I'd love to see more of the illustrations!
The Nutcracker Comes to America: How Three Ballet-loving Brothers Created a Holiday Tradition also piqued by interested. Written by Chris Barton with illustrations by Cathy Gendron, this book tells the story of how
The Nutcracker, which is a Russian ballet, became such a special tradition in the United States.
A few years ago I wrote a post on the blog
Dance Advantage about some of my favorite Nutcracker books at that time. You can read the post
here, in case you are looking for more dance books this holiday season.
Do you have a favorite Nutcracker picture book? Or do any of the new ones look interesting to you? I'd love to hear!
Back in the spring Cat decided that he wanted to stand in for the Easter Bunny (you can read about his adventures in Here Comes Easter Cat). With Christmas just around the corner, Cat has now decided that he wants to be Santa. The thing is, being Santa is a lot harder than it seems.
Here comes Santa Cat
Deborah Underwood
Illustrated by Claudia Rueda
Picture Book
For ages 5 to 7
Penguin, 2014, 978-0-8037-4100-3
Cat is back and this time, wait for it…he is wearing a Santa suit. When he is asked why he is dressed up, Cat explains, using pictures, that he needs to be Santa so that he can give himself a present. Surely, Santa will do that. No. Apparently Cat does not think that Santa will be giving him anything this year because he has been naughty a lot of the time and nice only on a few occasions. Well, that makes sense.
Okay, so Cat will be Santa, but does Cat know that he needs to come down chimneys, and does he happen to have some flying reindeer hanging around? It turns out that Cat does not much care for chimney climbing, and the jet pack he uses to fly is rather temperamental. Perhaps Cat would be better off giving up trying to be Santa. Instead, he can try being nice. You never know, Cat might even enjoy the experience.
In this laugh-out-loud picture book Cat once again tries to take on the role of a holiday figurehead, only to discover that being such a character is not as easy as it seems. Readers will be delighted to see how the sometimes grouchy feline stumbles from one disaster to another, until, at long last, something happens that turns things around for Cat. Just in time.
Where I grew up, on the island of Cyprus, Halloween wasn't something that people celebrated. I had to wait until I moved to the States before I was finally able to enjoy Halloween. Mind you, it wasn't until we moved to Oregon that I really got into the spirit of things and started dressing up. Unlike poor Scaredy Squirrel, I love Halloween, though some of the costumes people around here wear are definitely scary.
Scaredy Squirrel prepares for Halloween: A Safety Guide for ScarediesMelanie Watt
Picture Book
For ages 4 to 8
Kids Can Press, 2013, 978-1-894786-87-4
Scaredy Squirrel is the kind of creature who likes to be ready for every possible event. Really ready. He loves “lists, plans and safety equipment,” and hates “danger and unpredictability.” Because of these loves and hates, Scaredy Squirrel has put together this guide to help people who are like him. As far as Scaredy is concerned Halloween decorations are “nerve-wracking” and Halloween itself makes him “pass out.” If you have a similar reaction to Halloween then this guide was written for you. The guide is divided into eight chapters, and it is “designed to help you prepare for and survive Halloween, all in one piece!”
In the first chapter Scaredy shows his readers how to get their living area ready for Halloween. Scaredy provides us with an illustration that shows us how to use garlic, a scarecrow, a blender, bug repellent, caution tape and a doghouse to make our home safe from werewolves, creepy crawlies, ghosts and goblins, black cats and witches, and vampires. Who knew that such everyday items could be so useful!
Next, Scaredy tackles the subject of Halloween decorations. Scaredy appreciates that Halloween jitters might cause you to experience decorating problems, so he shows you how to carve a pumpkin safely, how to decorate your front door so that it is “inviting,” and how to make your living room “ghoulish” but “not too ghoulish.”
Choosing a Halloween costume is not easy, but Scaredy’s ingenious ideas you are sure to help you to find something that suits your personality. He looks at costumes that are classics, some that are fun, and a few that will appeal to people of action. There are also hero and villain costumes, fairy tale and science fiction costumes. He considers the advantages of makeup versus masks, and he shows us how to make three do-it-yourself costumes.
The next four chapters look at “Halloween trick-or-treating,” “Halloween candy,” “Halloween Notes,” and “Halloween Fun.” Then Scaredy wraps up with a chapter titled “If all else fails …” which does not need to be described as the title says it all.
For readers who know Scaredy Squirrel already, this new title is sure to reinforce the connection that they have with this delightful little animal. For readers who have never met Scaredy before, this title will show them what they have been missing!
Today I will be sending out the new issue of the Growing Bookworms email newsletter. (If you would like to subscribe, you can find a sign-up form here.) The Growing Bookworms newsletter contains content from my blog focused on children's and young adult books and raising readers. There are 1769 subscribers. I send out the newsletter once every two weeks.
Newsletter Update: In this issue I have four book reviews, ranging from picture book through young adult. I also have one post with a literacy milestone from my daughter, and another sharing our latest literacy-themed game. I have two posts with links that I shared on Twitter recently.
Reading Update: In the last two weeks I read one early reader, one young adult title, and two adult mysteries. I read:
- Kallie George (ill. Geneviève Côté). Spark. Simply Read Books. Early Reader. My review.
- Sara Zarr and Tara Altebrando: Roomies. Little, Brown Books for Young Readers. Young Adult. Completed December 9, 2013, on digital ARC. Review to come.
- Janet Evanovich: Takedown Twenty (A Stephanie Plum Novel). Bantam. Adult Mystery. Completed December 2, 2013, on MP3.
- Elizabeth George: Just One Evil Act (Inspector Lynley). Dutton. Adult Mystery. Completed December 4, 2013, on Kindle. I must say that this novel utterly consumed my thoughts for days. It's not exactly action-filled - there's a lot of description - but I kept thinking about the motivations of the characters, and wondering what they would do, or had done. Quite satisfying (though long and not for everyone).
I'm currently listening to Minding Frankie by Maeve Binchy and have just started my annual holiday season re-read of Let It Snow by John Green, Maureen Johnson, and Lauren Myracle. The first story, by Maureen Johnson, is my favorite of the three, so I may or may not actually read the entire book.
Baby Bookworm has been continuing to enjoy the Madeline books by Ludwig Bemelmans. We're also reading Christmas books, like The Christmas Quiet Book by Deborah Underwood and Renata Liwska and The Berenstain Bears Old-Fashioned Christmas by Jan and Mike Berenstain. We're also enjoying A Very Fuddles Christmas by Frans Vischer (my review of the first Fuddles book).
Wishing you all a wonderful holiday season. I'll be back after Christmas with the next newsletter. Thanks for reading, and for growing bookworms. Enjoy your holiday!

On Saturday November 19 we had the opportunity to visit the Swedish American Museum in the Chicago Andersonville neighborhood and to participate in their first Flick, Ricka, Dicka celebration.
The event was keynoted by readings throughout the day from the Flicka, Ricka, Dicka and Snipp, Snapp, and Snurr series by Swedish author Maj Lindman.
Children delighted in having their pictures taken behind or with a life-size cut out of the literary triplets.
Delicious hot drinks were served from a hot chocolate bar complete with a tempting array of toppings. Swedish holiday cookies were provided by the Swedish Bakery.
The craft room was abuzz with decoration making including felt ice skates and cone shaped Christmas trees.
Attendance at the event was free and open to the public. Several merchants in the area, including Women and Children First Bookstore, Swedish American Museum Gift Store, The Wooden Spoon, and The Red Balloon Co. generously supported a raffle by donating delightful gifts.
Copies of the newly reissued Flicka, Ricka, and Dicka and The New Skates (complete with paper dolls) sold briskly at the gift shop.
A splendid time was had by all and we look forward to partnering with the museum on future events. A special thanks goes to Jessie Aucoin, education manager for the museum, for all her efforts in making the day so wonderful.

Saint Francis of Assisi's
Canticle of the Creatures
Reimagined by Katherine Paterson
Illustrated by Pamela Dalton
$17.99, ages 4-8, 36 pages
A two-time Newbery Award winner adapts a beloved hymn into a children's prayer in this stunning book of paper-cut tapestries.
Katherine Paterson (Bridge to Terabithia) rephrases the blessings of Saint Francis of Assisi's Canticle of the Creatures as children today might recite them.
The changes are subtle, just enough to draw children closer to the spirit of the song, and reflect Paterson's deference to the original work.
When Paterson writes of Sister Moon and her stars, she draws off Assisi's description of them as "precious and beautiful," and writes to God that the heavens "clothe the night with their beauty and, like you, watch over us while we sleep."
Sweet and spare, the verses echo familiar ways children describe nature: water "wells up" and a storm sounds like a lion.
"We praise you for our Brother Wind and every kind of weather, stormy or mild," she writes. "For when he roars he reminds us of your might, and when he comes as a cooling breeze, he tells us of your gentleness."
Paper-cut artist Dalton illustrates using a technique of Scherenschnitte or scissor cuts, cutting each spread from a continuous piece of paper, an amazing process detailed in a video below.
The paper cuts are then painted in earthy watercolors and set against a black backdrop. Like needlework samplers, each is a country scene with gently shaded layers of activity, in this case filled with children and animals living Assisi's message.

Oh, we’ve done plenty of Halloween books over the years, and we have a fine selection of them out this season and on our backlist. But the creepiest and most terrifying book our company has ever published isn’t a Halloween book at all.
It’s this book:
Published in 1945 with an exclusively black-and-white pallette, Time to Eat presents “correct ideas on a proper, balanced diet for children,” according to the flap copy. Clearly, though, the book does far more than kill all the fun of mealtimes, and must have been used as an instrument of terror.
Scroll down, and brace yourself. What follows are some of the most haunting images ever produced for children.
Yes, just “stew.”
I think the use of shadow in this one is especially effective.
Oh, no.
And now, the worst one of all:
THE HORROR.
Happy Halloween, everyone!
