The Night Before Christmas - Retold and Illustrated by Rachel Isadora

THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS
Retold and Illustrated by Rachel Isadora

This remake of the 1822 classic poem "A Visit from St. Nicholas" written by Clement C. Moore, also known as "The Night Before Christmas" takes place in an African village with lots of wonderful African touches including Kente clothe patterns, clothes, and toys every where to be found. What a feast for the eyes!!!!!!!
Santa has dreadlocks and a kente cloth red suit and even the reindeer are sporting kentes to boot!

This awesome children's book is Africa inspired, I recommend reading it to every child as they await Santa's arrival and to bed they retire!
