From the Golden Books archives comes a classic Christmas tale by a master storyteller and one of the great Golden Books illustrators.

A forest is hushed for the animals' Christmas. The elephant brings a fir tree from far away, and the animals gather silently. . . . The kangaroos decorate the tree with pinecones, and the giraffe places a star at the top.

“Now, as it happened before, the lion lay down with the lamb. . . .”

This beautifully told story by noted author Jan Wahl is brought to life with richly textured paintings by Caldecott Medalist Leonard Weisgard, celebrating the majesty and wonder of Christmas. It was originally published in 1988.
Jan Wahl has published more than 100 books, including Pleasant Fieldmouse, Cobweb Castle, and A Dinosaur Named Sue, and has worked with such illustrators as Mercer Mayer, Garth Williams, and Maurice Sendak. His books have been awarded the ALA Notable Book citation and the Parents' Choice literary award, among many others. Jan lives in Toledo, Ohio. View titles by Jan Wahl
Leonard Weisgard (1916-2000) was a beloved and award-winning illustrator of more than 200 children’s books, perhaps best known for his collaboration with the author Margaret Wise Brown. His books include The Little Island (for which he won the Caldecott Medal in 1947), The Golden Egg Book, and The Golden Bunny. View titles by Leonard Weisgard
