With a touch-and-feel element on each spread, this sweet board book introduces readers to a host of adorable baby animals and their families on Christmas Eve as they settle down for bedtime.
It's Christmas Eve, and the animals in the forest are settling down to sleep. The cardinals fly to their nest after a day of looking for berries. A mama cat and her kitten sleep peacefully by the fire. And a sheep and her lambs snuggle together on a snowy hillside. Young readers can explore the peaceful Christmas Eve scenes, which feature gentle rhyming text and a touch-and-feel element on every spread.
Samantha Sweeney's favorite thing about writing and editing children's books is marveling at how much can be said in so few words. She lives in London in a tall house with a lot of stairs and comes up with some of her best ideas while she's on her way to the kitchen to make strong cups of tea. Her other great passion is soccer, and she is a dedicated supporter of a team that doesn't win very often.
Sebastien Braun was born in Strasbourg, France. As a child he spent countless hours drawing, but in high school there were no art classes, so he filled his homework with doodles and portraits of his teachers. Aside from creating pictures, Seb's favorite pastimes are making toys from wood, playing with his children, and climbing the Cotswold hills on his vintage road bike.
