Reviews

  • Just a perfectly pleasant celebration of family closeness.

    - Booklist Online

  • The short, rhyming text with just a few lines per page sets a hushed, poetic tone, complementing the late-night setting. Lee’s illustrations use a muted nighttime palette of deep blues and browns, but moonlight and starlight shining on the snow illuminate the scenes.

    - Kirkus Reviews

  • A cozy holiday book for icy nights.

    - Publishers Weekly

  • Successfully avoiding both religious references and iconic materialism, this soothing read-aloud is brought to life by the soft-hued, pastoral illustrations.
