Celebrate Christmas with the joyous poetry of the incomparable Maya Angelou.

Angelou's beautiful, moving, and beloved poem, which she first read at the 2005 White House tree-lighting ceremony, now comes alive as a fully illustrated children's book, celebrating the promise of peace in the holiday season. In this simple story, a family joins with their community-rich and poor, black and white, Christian, Muslim, and Jew-to celebrate the holidays.

This special package includes an audio CD of the author reading the poem aloud.
