Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:In this unique collection, Tomie dePaola shares his love of Christmas and all the delightful twists his life has taken. Christmas Remembered is a delightful window into the life of one of the great American children's book author/ artists. "Tomie dePaola is one of my favorite illustrators....He is also a writer of considerable charm, who can evoke a remembered world of his childhood with great vividness."Philip Pullman, author of His Dark Materials Trilogy "This book is like Christmas itselffull of surprises and sensory delights . . . for young and old alike."Kathleen Norris, author of The Cloister Walk Review:"DePaola (26 Fairmount Avenue) waxes nostalgic in slightly new territory here — a series of autobiographical vignettes of Christmases past aimed at an audience beyond children. From his earliest childhood memories of his family's faux fireplace purchased 'so Santa could visit,' to presents at age 11 that validated his aspirations to be an artist, to holidays as an adult spent with fellow artists and friends in San Francisco and Santa Fe, this volume chronicles its creator's lifelong fondness for celebrating December 25th. DePaola alternates his signature gouache style with mixed-media and collage pieces, giving the work a pleasant 'scrapbook' effect. All ages. (Sept.)

Synopsis:The beloved children's author and artist shares his love of Christmas in 15 vivid memories, which span six decades and are filled with all the delightful twists and turns his life has taken.
