Enter the Great Snow Forest to discover what Christmas truly is in this beautiful new gift edition of a holiday classic from Caldecott Medalist Trina Schart Hyman.
Once upon a time there was a little girl who had never heard of Christmas and therefore did not know what it was. So she sets off into the snowy woods in search of it, gathering a memorable troupe of animal companions along the way: a curious cat, a sad-faced hound, a regal hawk, a wise old fox, and an amusing nightingale.
Each of her companions has questions: What does Christmas feel like? Is it comfortable and warm? What does it sound like? Does it laugh? Does it shriek? But beneath the gently falling snow, they discover a different answer to their questions than expected: Christmas is how Christmas feels.
A timeless classic, this cloth-bound, luxurious new edition of Caldecott Medalist Trina Schart Hyman s gentle, introspective holiday tale, leaves readers with the greatest Christmas story of all: that Christmas is not only where you find it; it s what you make of it.

Pressestimmen
Hyman s lively prose reflects each animal s preoccupations beautifully; her mostly monochromatic illustrations, with pops of color such as red for the girl s stocking cap, are arresting and imbued with personality.
The Horn Book
The extreme innocence of the characters that Hyman (1939-2004) conjures may give readers ages 4 to 8 a gentle sense of superiority they know about Christmas even as they are beguiled.
