| Publisher Description: Make Way for the Christmas Hush is an artfully crafted marriage of contemporary themes with old school charm. It is a timeless children's book that follows the successful pattern of Tim Huff's previous best-selling and award-winning works as it combines equal parts of celebratory, humorous, tender and meaningful observations about Christmas for families and children of all ages. Readers will quickly discover that the Christmas Hush isn't a "what", but rather, a "who." The story follows adorable little character Hush on a wild journey through a panorama of festive scenarios, meeting a myriad of characters along the way that includes the Christmas Hoopla, the Christmas Blues, the Christmas Fuss, and the most unforgettable twins imaginable - the Christmas Hustle and the Christmas Bustle - all in an effort to lead children to the special time and special place set apart for just the Christmas Hush. While lively storytelling and vibrant illustrations make this unique children's book great fun, its true magic is its gentle conclusion - the importance of quiet moments spent on the true meaning of Christmas. |
