Winter's Eve: Love and Lights

Another charming story of Eve, the fairy, and her friendships among other cultures. This beautifully illustrated book gives children (and adults) a glimpse into the colorful imagery of winter holiday traditions across our globe. As in the other Eve stories, this book conveys a positive message about friendship and diversity.

Once again, i add my comments to our own book, to offer another look into what it offers the Holiday Season. We had no luck finding a happy, introductory book to the various holidays around this time of year. ("Mom, why do people say "Happy Holidays" - how many holidays are there?") There were a few (very few) good factual books about each holiday, and absolutely no storybooks that included each light holiday. The book explores Diwali, Hanukkah, St. Lucia's Day, Advent, Los Posadas, Kwanzaa, and Chinese (Asian) New Year - each holiday celebrating light and having a specific light object associated with it. We researched for over a year looking for a Islamic holiday to include, but to no avail. Rather than include it falsely, we explore Ramadan (which sometimes occurs in the winter) on our website: www.pappyholidays.com. Also on the website, you will find coloring pages for each of the holildays and other "Eve" resources for families, teachers and kids. We sincerely hope you enjoy the book and learn as much as we did through this lighthearted and light-filled book.
