HOLIDAY READING: Celebrate With Books!

Some of my favorite Christmas picture books

What better way to prepare for Christmas than to read some of the special books that celebrate the themes of the season! My daughter's family gets out their collection of holiday children’s books each December when they unpack the decorations for the tree. Their books include winter snow stories, Santa Claus tales, and retellings of the traditional nativity story. As we reread our favorites we enjoy each one all over again, and even though the grandchildren are growing older, no one ever outgrows the love of a good picture book.

I send you good wishes for a

Very Happy Holiday

and a

New Year filled with wonderful books!

The Polar Express is the reason why I got into writing children's books. I have a signed copy!

Looking for a good book?

Consider downloading one of my E-BOOKS from the internet to read on your computer or other device.
Many of my CURRENT BOOKS are available as e-books from your library, Amazon, and other e-book platforms. Dozens of my OUT-OF-PRINT books are getting a new life as e-books. The books have been redesigned with a contemporary look for today's readers. They are available on Amazon as Kindle books and in some cases for Nooks and I-Readers. For a complete list of all my e-books, go to the E-Books page at my website.
