Li'l Rabbit is not having a very good Kwanzaa. Granna Rabbit is sick, and so his family won't celebrate his favorite part of Kwanzaa this year: a big feast called Karamu. Li'l Rabbit knows what to do! He'll find Granna Rabbit a special treat for Karamu so she can celebrate anyway. He looks under a pile of logs, in the field, and in the pond and along the way meets Groundhog, Momma Field Mouse, and the frogs—but he doesn't find anything for Granna Rabbit. Maybe I'm just too little to help Granna Rabbit celebrate Kwanzaa, Li'l Rabbit thinks. Or maybe he just needs a little help from his family and friends. Inspired by Brer Rabbit, a trickster character from the African-American folklore tradition, the story of Li'l Rabbit captures the true meaning of Kwanzaa—coming together to help others.

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Christmas Box and The Mistletoe Promise comes a picture book about a boy who learns a lesson about the true meaning of Christmas. This holiday classic has been given a new cover and format—perfect for gift-giving. High in the mountains lies the town of Noel, surrounded by beautiful white walls and a great silver gate. Every year Alexander and his mother walk the long distance to Noel to watch the lighting of the village Christmas tree. This year Alexander learns that the Keeper of the Flame will choose the person who has given the truest gift of Christmas to light the Flame. On his way to Noel, Alexander helps a poor old man he finds lying in the snow. His act of charity is rewarded, and Alexander learns that it isn’t what you have to give, but how you give of yourself that matters most. Master storyteller Richard Paul Evans shares a heartwarming tale of the true meaning of Christmas spirit.

Renowned artist Mary Engelbreit reimagines her New York Times bestselling Christmas classic with a brand-new picture book that features woodland animals in a magical wintery world. 'Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the house... not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.... That may be how the classic Christmas poem begins, but in Mary Engelbreit's latest reimagining of The Night Before Christmas, it's a family of mice that take center stage when a jolly intruder squeezes into their tiny abode and makes himself known. And though he looks like Santa--sack of toys, dressed in fur, telltale rosy cheeks--this isn't the old St. Nick readers might expect! In this snow-covered forest, a whole host of woodland animals embody the beloved characters of the famous fabled Christmas Eve.
