By Deborah Underwood. Illustrated by Renata Liwska. Boston: Houghton Mifflin Books for Children, 2012.Christmas is a busy, and noisy, time of year. With the music, shopping, cookies, visits from family and friends, presents, and did I mention cookies, it's a joyful and exciting time of year. But, sometimes it's nice to stop, be still, and enjoy the quiet moments. This beautiful picture book shows us some of those quiet moments - snuggling under warm blankets, enjoying a cup of cocoa, and marveling at the beauty of a tree full of lights. The illustrations are done in warm, muted colors that fit perfectly with the quiet mood of the book. This is a wonderful book to share one-on-one with your children during this holiday season. What quiet moments will you enjoy this Christmas?
