A fresh and contemporary adaptation of a beloved Christmas classic that features a jolly Black Santa from New York Times bestselling children's book creator Lauren Semmer.
Merry Christmas to all and to all a goodnight!
All are cozy on this Christmas Eve night. This modern retelling starts with a family dressing the Christmas tree and setting out cookies and milk for a special visitor, while a delightful winter cityscape dazzles outside. Though the city never quite sleeps, the family inside—including the cat—are all snuggled up tight. But when a clatter wakes up one child and they glimpse St. Nick’s sleigh and eight reindeer from the window, a magical meeting occurs.
New York Times bestselling illustrator Lauren Semmer reimagines a holiday classic with her signature vibrant and playful art. This gift-worthy, foil-stamped book edition celebrates the holiday with a jolly Black Santa, perfect for families to read on repeat during the Christmas season.
Clement C. Moore (1779–1863), an American scholar and poet, first wrote “The Night Before Christmas” in 1822 to entertain his children. A friend submitted it to a local newspaper, the Troy Sentinel, where it was published on December 23, 1823. Moore’s delightful description of St. Nicholas and his eight flying reindeer has since become the definitive portrait of Santa Claus.
Lauren Semmer is an artist, children’s book creator, and designer whose work has been featured everywhere from textile designs and children’s apparel to the New York Times, the Washington Post, and Real Simple magazine. She has illustrated several picture books, including the NYT bestselling title The ABCs of Black History and The ABCs of Women’s History, both written by Rio Cortez, and the CCBC Choices selection To Boldly Go: How Nichelle Nichols and Star Trek Helped Advance Civil Rights, by Angela Dalton. Her author-illustrator debut is Poppy’s Family Patterns. Her favorite holiday tradition is decorating festive cookies for Santa. Visit her at laurensemmer.com.
