The Best Christmas Day, by Anne M. Thomas with illustrations by Bradley Peterson; Anne M. Thomas Publishing; 32 pages
Undeterred by the pandemic, Baton Rouge author Anne M. Thomas chose 2020 to self-publish her first childrenâs picture book, The Best Christmas Day.
âI was really moved to combat the sorrow of the pandemic year with the joy of Christmas,â said Thomas in a news release. âI truly hope that every family has âthe best Christmas Dayâ this year. We all deserve that after the year weâve had!â
What creates the best Christmas Day varies, so the book does a wonderful job of highlighting the seasonâs best traditions. From caroling and gingerbread houses to Santaâs workshop and the birth of Jesus, the rhyming text and beautiful illustrations will resonate with everyone, particularly youngsters ages 3 to 8.
