A beautiful full-color hardcover picture book introduction to the beloved Little House series, perfect for younger readers.

Christmas has come to the Big Woods of Wisconsin! Laura and her family are excited to celebrate. When Laura's cousins, aunt, and uncle arrive, they spend their time together eating sweets, playing in the snow, and reading. Their holiday celebrations are full of simple joys.

The warm paintings by Renée Graef are inspired by Garth Williams' classic illustrations and lovingly bring the Ingalls family to life.


Contributor Bio(s): Wilder, Laura Ingalls: -

Laura Ingalls Wilder (1867-1957) was born in a log cabin in the Wisconsin woods. With her family, she pioneered throughout America's heartland during the 1870s and 1880s, finally settling in Dakota Territory. She married Almanzo Wilder in 1885; their only daughter, Rose, was born the following year. The Wilders moved to Rocky Ridge Farm at Mansfield, Missouri, in 1894, where they established a permanent home. After years of farming, Laura wrote the first of her beloved Little House books in 1932. The nine Little House books are international classics. Her writings live on into the twenty-first century as America's quintessential pioneer story.
