Christmas Is Coming

  • Interest Level: Preschool - Grade 3
  • Reading Level: Grade 2

Waiting for Christmas sure can be hard! But Anna helps out her new baby brother by telling him all of the signs that Christmas is coming—like making frost on a window, decorating with lights, and picking out the most perfect tree. She also shows her brother how to make the time pass faster by making cookies and presents for family and friends. When the big day finally arrives, Anna races downstairs to count all of the presents under the tree. But suddenly she realizes what the very best Christmas present of all really is. And it isn’t something that’s under the tree. . .

“Bogacki contributes a series of charming, lightly stylized illustrations, warm with chalk-box colors and full of seasonal details for children to enjoy.”

Kirkus Reviews

“Delightfully different illustrations in a naïf style are the glowing heart of this cheerful story of a little girl’s preparations for Christmas.”
Kirkus Reviews

School Library Journal

“Conversational prose complements spreads that feature impressionistic pastel colors. Some pages also include vignettes, and all elements combine successfully to present an older sister’s perspective and love-filled explanations.”
