The festive season is drawing near and I am looking forward to gathering with friends and family to enjoy some holiday spirit. At this time of year, the days are short and the nights are long and dark. It’s good to find ways to come together and share some light.

The partiers in these illustrations are created by Lisa Cinar, the wonderful illustrator of our book, Bear’s Winter Party, a story about finding friends on a cold winter night.

As the season gets underway, I wish you happy times, warm gatherings and many lovely books to read.
