CBC Showcase: Holidays & the Winter Season
by Tony Johnston, illustrated by Cheng-Khee Chee
The beauty and sprit of Christmas resound in this lyrical picture book by beloved children's author Tony Johnston with breathtaking illustrations by renowned watercolor artist Cheng-Khee Chee, illustrator of Old Turtle. On Christmas Eve, people bundle up in the cold and follow the sounds of the bell to gather in celebration. Creatures great and small stop to listen—children, dogs, cats, and birds—as a brass band marches through town. The poetry and imagery of these verses and the classic feel of this lush artwork make for a memorable Christmas read-aloud.
