Christmas Picture Books for the Season

((in which my bookshelves spill over and I'd like to share))

The delight and wonder of Picture Books

My small space here on the ‘stack has been dedicated, lo these past four months, to poetic reflections and other made things. You can see what I mean by that here.¹

However, thirty plus years in the classroom—either learning how to teach or teaching others—plus parenting and now grandparenting has led to an abundance of riches. And by ‘riches’ I mean books, of course.

If you or someone you know needs an idea of what to read and share with others this holiday season, I made a little graphic for you. (Featuring a strategically inserted photo of my book “Living the Season Well: Reclaiming Christmas.” You can find that here.²)

You’re smart. No links here, obvs. Get the to thine favorite bookseller post haste.

I also made a video of the books ‘cause that’s fun, too! (Background music is Phil Keaggy and the London Festival Orchestra “Majesty and Wonder” from 1999.)

And, because a picture is worth a thousand words, I offer you by way of inspiration, a photographic invitation as well.

I hope you find something that intrigues you—there’s so much goodness out there!

Besides, picture books are for grown ups, too.

What are some of your favorites?

We’ll be back to our regularly scheduled poetic programming later this week.
