Another picture book for Jess Racklyeft

September 27, 2019

Congrats, yet again! to Jess Racklyeft on her wonderful illustrations for

The First Christmas

Published by Puffin/Penguin, in hardback

For ages 0 - 6.

The First Christmas perfectly captures the wonder of the nativity, and celebrates the Christmas spirit of togetherness. Full of hope for the future and the joy of family, this is a classic picture book to share, year after year.

Sure to be a hit - congrats once again Jess!
