How Six Found Christmas

Enter the Great Snow Forest to discover what Christmas truly is in this beautiful new gift edition of a holiday classic from Caldecott Medalist Trina Schart Hyman.

Once upon a time there was a little girl who had never heard of Christmas and therefore did not know what it was. So she sets off into the snowy woods in search of it, gathering a memorable troupe of animal companions along the way: a curious cat, a sad-faced hound, a regal hawk, a wise old fox, and an amusing nightingale.

Each of her companions has questions: What does Christmas feel like? Is it comfortable and warm? What does it sound like? Does it laugh? Does it shriek? But beneath the gently falling snow, they discover a different answer to their questions than expected: Christmas is how Christmas feels.

A timeless classic, this cloth-bound, luxurious new edition of Caldecott Medalist Trina Schart Hyman's gentle, introspective holiday tale, leaves readers with the greatest Christmas story of all: that Christmas is not only where you find it; it's what you make of it.
