On the first day of Christmas my parents gave to me…
a holiday book about my very own state!
Happy holidays, from California to the New York Islandand celebrate with six joyful new titles in the popular childrens series!
Based on the beloved song, every Twelve Days of Christmas book has become a sold-out sensation thanks to its local flavor, appealing art, and unique format. Through lively, chatty letters home, each one follows a child on a fun visit with a friend or relative over winter vacation. Along the way, the young narrators convey a host of fascinating and kid-friendly facts about what they do and where they goso young readers will find out where the name Minnesota came from; meet a “weather worm” in North Carolina, see NASAs Johnson Space Center in Houston, and learn all about Colonial America in Virginia.
All the stories are written and illustrated by authors and artists with strong ties to the featured area, and three pages at the back offer extra information (such as the capital city, famous natives, state bird, and tree). Theyre perfect for kids planning to travel for their own holiday…or just dreaming of enjoying Christmas somewhere in our magnificent 50 states.
