    "Another holiday keepsake from a master." - Publishers Weekly, starred review
    ★ "Another holiday keepsake from a master."—Publishers Weekly, starred review

    "This eye-filling volume offers a wealth of detail, perfect for sharing in the days counting down to Christmas."—Kirkus Reviews
    With more than 44 million books in print, Jan Brett is one of the nation’s foremost illustrators of children’s books.  As a child, she decided to be an illustrator and spent much of her time reading and drawing. As a student at the Boston Museum School, Jan spent many hours in the Museum of Fine Arts. Travel is also a constant inspiration, so with her husband, Joe Hearne, who was a member of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, she visits many different countries where she researches the architecture and costumes that appear in her work. Jan lives in a seacoast town in Massachusetts.
