Lucy's Christmas

Description

Share an old-fashioned New England Christmas with your children—back to a time when making the presents was far more satisfying than buying them.

Lucy Wells likes planning ahead. In her quaint New England town, the leaves have just begun to change, but Lucy is already thinking of Christmas. She begins to make presents for her family: a pincushion for her mother, a doll for her sister, and a pen-wiper for her best friend. For the whole family, her parents have ordered a new modern range stove.

The days grow colder and shorter, the snow grows deeper, and everyone grows more excited. Finally, the day arrives. Lucy and her family travel to the South Danbury Church on Christmas to exchange gifts, sing carols with the whole town, and perform in the Christmas pageant.

Poet laureate Donald Hall (author of The Ox-Cart Man and the companion to this book, Lucy's Summer) grew up spending as much time as he could on his grandfather's farm in rural New Hampshire. It was there he milked cows, raised sheep, and heard stories about Christmases past that are brought to life in this read-aloud picture book for young children.

About the Author

Donald Hall was not only one of America’s poet laureates but one of the great personal essayists. “If any American writer deserves the description of ‘man of letters,’” the New York Times Book Review wrote, “it is Donald Hall.” Mr. Hall approached writing as he approached life—with simplicity, affection, and a wry wit. He distilled the human experience with a sense of humor that readers will return to again and again, each time learning something new. His work glows with the affection he held for the land, the people, and the customs of rural New England, and especially for the small, New Hampshire dairy farm near Ragged Mountain he visited every summer as a child.
