The Christmas Book Flood

By: Emily Kilgore

Illustrated by: Kitty Moss

Dakota County Library hardcover 32 pages (?)

Published: 2022

Genre: Children's picture book

 

I mistakenly ordered this instead of our November book club book! I checked it out anyway. I like gorgeous picture books and this one qualifies. 

 

During WWII, Iceland was rationing lots of things but not paper. Giving books for Christmas became a really big deal. This is a lovely tradition! Moss' pictures are beautiful. Kilgore's words share that love of reading that is so important to so many people. 

 

This is a delightful book! (And I was able to order the correct book on Libby for book club. Different author . . . )
