Fairy Eve and Her Holiday Books

The Parent Bloggers Network sent me three books by Lisa Sferlazza Johnson and illustrated by Tucker Johnson this fall.  They all feature a little fairy named Eve.  I read them all to my daughter, and we agreed that while they are all clever and beautiful, Winter's Eve stands out among the pack.

I'm always looking for insight into other people's customs and holiday celebrations, and I find most things out through my daughter's books.  This one describes the many winter festivals of light, and all are given gracefully equal weight.  I love how all of them are brought together without preference, how all are valued for what they contribute to the world. What a great message.

All Hallow's Eve follows Eve to her October 31 birthday party, when her friends bring her gifts of candy in costume.

 

And Christmas Eve combines fairies and the Christ story in a particularly unique way.

 

So cute.
